THIS CAUSE came on for hearing upon the sworn Consent to Adjudicate Divorce on the basis of Irreconcilable Differences filed on ______, 2017 by the Plaintiff, GOLDIE LANDERS (hereinafter “Goldie”), whose address is 114 Lonely Drive, Madison, Madison County, Mississippi 39110, and the Defendant, PHIL A. LANDERS (hereinafter “Phil”), whose address is currently 999 Shady Lane, Madison County, Madison, Mississippi 39110. The Complaint for Divorce -- Irreconcilable Differences, filed on ______, 2017 , has been on file for at least sixty (60) days prior to the date of the filing of this Final Judgment; the Court, having heard and considered the matter, finds that it has jurisdiction of the parties and the subject matter, and further affirmatively finds that the parties have made adequate and sufficient provisions by written agreement for care, custody, control and maintenance of the minor children and the settlement of all property rights and all other issues raised by the pleadings, and that the parties are hereby entitled to a divorce on the ground of irreconcilable differences. The Court further finds as follows:
1.
Goldie is a bona fide, adult resident citizen of the State of Mississippi and has been so for a period of more than six (6) months next preceding the filing of this Final Judgment of Divorce. Goldie resides at 114 Lonely Drive, Madison, Mississippi 39110. Phil is a bona fide, adult resident citizen of the State of Mississippi and has been so for a period of more than six (6) months next preceding the filing of this Final Judgment of Divorce. Phil resides at 999 Shady Lane, Madison, Mississippi 39110.
2.
The parties were legally married on March 16, 2002 in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Five (5) children have been born of their marriage union, namely A.B.L., C.D.L., E.F.L., G.H.L., and I.J.L.. No other children are expected to be born of this marriage union, as Goldie is not pregnant. The parties lived together as husband and wife in the State of Mississippi until their final separation on or about December 31, 2016 in Madison County, Mississippi. The children of the parties have resided with the parties for the past five (5) years.
3.
Neither party has participated as a party, witness, or in any capacity in any other litigation concerning the custody of the said minor children in this or in any other state; that they have no information of any custody proceeding concerning the minor children pending in any Court of this or any other state; and they do not know of any person, not a party to these proceedings, who has physical custody of the minor children or who claims to have custody or visitation rights with respect to said minor children.
4.
The parties shall keep one another informed of their full addresses, including state, city, street, house number and telephone number, if available, unless excused in writing by the Court. Within five (5) days of either party, being subject to Uniform Chancery Rule 8.06, changing his or her or her address, he or she shall, so long as the children remain minors, notify in writing the Clerk of the Court which has entered any Order providing for custody or visitation of his or her full new address and shall furnish the other party a copy of such notice, with said notice including the court file number, and with the Clerk docketing and filing such notice in this cause. In the event of a threat, disaster, or other emergency, such as a hurricane, which causes an emergency evacuation, any party who has custody of a minor child (physical custody or while exercising visitation) has a duty to notify the other parent of the location and well being of the minor(s) as soon as reasonably possible.
5.
The parties have charged and alleged that during the aforesaid period of the married life of these parties and just immediately preceding the date on which these parties separated on or about December 31, 2016, in Madison County, Mississippi, irreconcilable differences and other disputes arose between them, and they can no longer live together as husband and wife. Both parties are fully advised and believe that they are entitled to a divorce on the ground of irreconcilable differences, as provided by Mississippi Code Annotated § 93-5-2, as amended.
6.
The Child Custody and Property Settlement Agreement entered into by and between the parties contains adequate and sufficient provisions for the care, maintenance and control of the parties’ minor children and for the settlement of all property rights existing between the parties and should, therefore, be confirmed, approved and adopted by this Court as part of its Final Judgment.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the parties be, and they are hereby, awarded a divorce absolute of and from each other on the ground of irreconcilable differences, and the bonds of matrimony heretofore existing between the parties are hereby dissolved and held for naught.
IT IS, FURTHER, ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the Child Custody and Property Settlement Agreement executed by the parties on or about ______, 2017 be, and the same hereby is, approved, confirmed and adopted by this Court in all respects. Each party is specifically ordered and directed by this Court to do all things agreed to by him or her under and by virtue of all the terms, provisions and conditions contained in said Agreement. The original Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit “A” is hereby incorporated into and made part of this Final Judgment.
SO ORDERED this the _____ day of ______, 2017.
