WARNING: Don’t File for Divorce in Mississippi Over Mental Illness Until You Read This

Look, I’m going to tell you something that most Mississippi divorce lawyers won’t. . .

Filing for divorce because you discovered your spouse’s undisclosed mental illness is like walking through a minefield.

One wrong step and BOOM – you could destroy your case before it even starts.

I know because I’ve seen good people make catastrophic mistakes in these cases. Mistakes that cost them everything.

Here’s the thing: Mississippi law allows divorce when there’s “mental illness or an intellectual disability at the time of marriage, if the party complaining did not know of that infirmity.”

Sounds simple, right?

WRONG.

This seemingly straightforward statute is a trap waiting to ensnare unsuspecting people like you. Why? Because proving you “didn’t know” about someone’s mental illness isn’t as simple as saying “They never told me.”

Let me share a story that will make your blood boil. . .

Last year, a woman we’ll call Mary came to my office after spending $15,000 with another lawyer who completely botched her mental illness divorce case.

Why?

Because that lawyer didn’t understand how to properly document and prove Mary’s lack of knowledge about her husband’s condition.

The court threw out her case.

Just like that. $15,000 down the drain!

This is exactly the kind of situation where people make one of the Top 5 Mistakes That Can DESTROY Their Mississippi Divorce Case. (More about that in a moment. . .)

Why Am I Telling You This?

I’m Ocean Springs divorce lawyer Jay Foster, and I’m about to share something personal. . .

A few years ago, I had to hire a lawyer myself for a legal matter outside my expertise.

What happened next was a nightmare of:

• Endless phone tag
• Nothing happening on my case
• Getting gouged with hourly billing
• Feeling completely powerless and frustrated

That experience transformed me.

It’s why I became what I call “The Legal Crusader” – the ONLY lawyer in Mississippi who guarantees flat-rate attorney fees where you can set your appointment online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The TRUTH About Mental Illness Divorce Cases That Nobody’s Talking About

Here’s what you need to understand right now:

1. The burden of proof is ON YOU to show you didn’t know about the mental illness before marriage
2. Your spouse’s current diagnosis isn’t enough – you need to prove the condition existed BEFORE marriage
3. Many mental health records are protected by privacy laws
4. Your own testimony alone usually ISN’T enough to win
5. The timing of when you discovered the illness is CRUCIAL

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. . .

Why Most Mental Illness Divorce Cases FAIL

Want to know the real reason most of these cases crash and burn?

It’s not because people don’t have valid cases.

It’s because they make critical mistakes in the first 30 days after discovering their spouse’s undisclosed mental illness.

These mistakes are so common, so devastating, and so PREVENTABLE that I dedicated an entire chapter to them in my free book: “Top 5 Mistakes That Can DESTROY Your Mississippi Divorce Case.”
