Legal Question in Family Law in Mississippi

Re: custody agreement

What will be required to change this legally?

I would recommend you hire a local family law attorney and file a joint petition for modification of child custody in Chancery Court. Since you are both in agreement, this should not be all that expensive.

Do grandparents have rights in the state of Mississippi?

Yes, but they are very limited. The natural parents of the child are superior to all other persons. I would encourage you to work with the grandparents and let them know that you will not shut them out of this child�s life, but you will not give them custody.

I have a page on my web site devoted to grandparent�s rights. I have provided a link below, due to space limitations here.
