My question involves a marriage in the state of: Mississippi
I hope this is posted in the right place.
So my dad left my mom on August 2. Just grabbed his paycheck and took off; we didn't hear from him for almost a month. A few days ago, we found out he moved to another city 300 miles away and wants nothing to do with us anymore. So, my mom is preparing to file for divorce.
However, today, she found out that he has been sleeping with her best friend. She became furious and threw all of his clothes and possessions in bags and put them outside to burn them. I stopped her because I don't want her to get in trouble for destruction of property, but she is hell bent on getting rid of everything.
Can she legally burn/throw away/destroy his clothing and possessions? Is there a time limit for him to come pick his things up before they're considered 'abandoned'?
