Mississippi child support is based upon official guidelines for the calculation of child support. In calculating support, a Mississippi Court may make an award that it finds to be just and equitable. Where both parents have income or financial resources, each may be required to provide child support in a manner proportionate to their relative financial ability.

The child support laws in Mississippi were passed as a direct result of Federal mandates implemented over the past fifteen plus years.  The Federal Government has controlled the realm of state support laws in most regards, including on issues such as support collection and support enforcement.  The Federal Government denies funding to any state that does not adhere to the Federal mandates on support.  The Federal mandates on support are based upon studies that indicate how much intact families spend on their children, by income level.  The intent of the support laws is to maintain that support level for children if their family divides.
