You need a good lawyer to get all of this straightened out. One place to look for an attorney is our website, http://attorneypages.com Or, there should be a program that will provide you some help finding a public service lawyer. Be persistent, don't give up, because there's too much going on here to try and handle on your own.
I'm not a Mississippi attorney, and there are some variations in the law from one state to the next. And without all the facts, everything that's happened, the paperwork and the rest of it, there's no way to give you reliable advice about what to do next.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The Answer(s) provided above are for general information only. The attorney providing the answer was not serving as the attorney for the person submitting the question or in any attorney-client relationship with such person. Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved. Unlike the information in the Answer(s) above, upon which you should NOT rely, for personal advice you can rely upon we suggest you retain an attorney to represent you.
