All prevalent information should be contained within the document. The more specific the document, the better to anticipate future issues stemming from miscommunication or unclarity.

A marital/divorce settlement can be utilized in Mississippi to avoid equitable distribution (see video for what equitable law entails) by the courts if both spouses agree on most terms. In such cases, they can file for an uncontested divorce and submit their written agreement to a judge for approval.
