Mississippi Family Law Attorney Gene Barton
In an ideal world, marriages would last forever and no one would get a divorce. Unfortunately, this is not a perfect world, and more than 50 percent of all marriages end in divorce. When you are facing a divorce, hire an attorney who not only knows the law, but one who will also understand what you're going through and fight for your needs.
I know that divorce is one of the most painful experiences someone can go through. I know because I went through it myself not too long ago. From my Okolona, Mississippi, law firm office, I will do everything I can as your Mississippi family law attorney to represent your interests aggressively while remaining empathetic to your needs.
Issues in a Divorce
Divorce involves a lot more than the couple simply separating; many legal, personal and financial issues need to be resolved, like:
- Division of assets: I can help you get fair property settlements even if your divorce involves large property values or multiple properties.
- Financial support issues: I will fight for your interests regarding child support and spousal support/alimony.
- Child custody and child support: These are very draining and emotional issues for people. It is important to know that with some fight, there is a chance to win custody, even for a man.
Divorce as a Last Resort
I tell all of my divorce clients to save the marriage if at all possible. I know the trauma that divorce causes the children and the divorcing couple. As a lawyer, I would much rather lose the business than help someone end a marriage that might otherwise be saved. If my clients are uncertain about divorce, I strongly and frequently recommend marriage counseling.
Sometimes, of course, a marriage simply cannot be saved. When that happens, I will represent you with empathy and tenacity, fighting for your interests every step of the way. I really am an attorney who cares about my clients.
