Spouse Has 3 Domestic Violence Charges in 1 Month
My question involves criminal law for the state of: Mississippi
Hello, I have just filed for divorce in state of Tennessee, and my wife now lives in Mississippi. Her parents had her arrested for the third time last night on domestic violence charges and violating a previous bond order for a domestic violence charge from 2 1/2 weeks earlier. What kind of jail time is she looking at? She left me a message from the booking desk this morning and told me they were charging her with a felony. Also how will this affect our divorce proceedings? I did file for primary custody in TN but she hasn't even been served yet.

Odds are, she's looking at more jail time than she received for her last violation. We have no way of knowing, as we don't know the facts.
Tell us about your divorce action - what are the issues, and how do you believe your wife's conduct relates to those issues?

Well, she should be served papers by Wednesday hopefully. My wife drinks too much and cannot control it, along with being violent towards me for a couple of years now. I guess I have finally had enough. Especially with a newborn here, my wife seems to have went off the deep end. I have wanted a divorce for a while now because we just don't get along, but when she brings tension and violence around our child, she has forced my hand.

Where are the children? With you or your wife?
