Common Family Law Matters We Handle
Divorce
Divorce proceedings can involve complex legal and financial issues, including property division, child custody, support obligations, and long-term planning. Whether contested or uncontested, divorce cases require careful preparation and clear legal guidance.

Child Custody Agreements
Child custody decisions are among the most important issues addressed in family law. Mississippi courts prioritize the best interests of the child when determining custody arrangements, visitation schedules, and parental responsibilities.
Legal guidance can help parents understand custody options, negotiate workable agreements, and navigate court proceedings when necessary.
Adoption
Adoption proceedings create permanent legal relationships between parents and children. These cases involve specific statutory requirements and court approval to ensure that all legal standards are satisfied.
Scott Lusk assists families through the adoption process, helping them understand the steps involved and preparing the necessary documentation for court review.
Paternity Establishment
Establishing paternity can affect custody rights, visitation, and child support obligations. In Mississippi, legal paternity may be established through voluntary acknowledgment or court proceedings.
Proper legal guidance helps ensure that parental rights and responsibilities are clearly defined and enforceable.
Guardianship
Guardianship cases involve the legal appointment of an individual to care for a minor or incapacitated person. These matters are handled in Chancery Court and often arise when a parent is unable to provide appropriate care or when an adult requires assistance managing personal or financial affairs.
Because guardianship decisions can have long-term consequences, careful legal guidance is important throughout the process.
Chancery Court Matters
