Mississippi Child Custody and Mental Health: Don’t Let Fearmongering Steal Your Time with Your Kids!

Facing a Mississippi Divorce and Worried About Your Mental Health?

Listen up, Ocean Springs!

Are you staring down the barrel of a divorce with a churning gut full of anxieties?

Does the thought of losing custody of your precious kids because of some “mental health issue” keep you up at night?

Hold on a dang second!

Before you let fear paralyze you, let’s get some straight talk.

I’m Attorney Jay Foster, the Legal Crusader, and I’m here to tell you that Mississippi courts don’t automatically rip kids away from parents with mental health issues.

But here’s the shocker: most lawyers won’t tell you this!

Why?

Because fear sells.

Lawyers who play the “you’ll lose your kids!” card are like used car salesmen with greasy smiles and hidden fees.

They thrive on keeping you scared and confused.

And then they GOUGE you with hourly fees so you end up paying tens of thousands of dollars!!!

Now, let’s bust some myths about mental health and child custody in Mississippi:

Myth #1: A Diagnosis Equals “Unfit Parent”

Having a diagnosed mental health condition – depression, anxiety, ADHD, you name it – doesn’t automatically disqualify you from having custody of your children.

What matters? How your mental health impacts your ability to parent.

Think about it: millions of parents manage mental health conditions and raise happy, healthy kids.

Does your mental health affect your ability to care for the kids?

If it does, then it is more likely this will weigh against you (remember, there are lots of factors the Judge considers on who gets custody).

In other words, the fact that you have experienced mental or emotional problems does not prevent you from getting custody UNLESS your present ability to care for the kids is affected.

Myth #2: The Court Wants to Punish You

The Mississippi court system prioritizes one thing above all else in custody cases – the best interests of the child.

They want a safe and stable environment. If you’re actively managing your mental health through therapy, medication, or support groups, and can provide a loving, nurturing home, that speaks volumes.

Myth #3: You Have to Go It Alone

Facing a divorce and managing mental health is a lot to handle. But you don’t have to be a lone warrior. Getting support from a therapist, counselor, or trusted friend is crucial. Additionally, a competent Mississippi child custody lawyer can be your fiercest advocate in court.
