Can or should I take her back to court or forcing a divorce?
After gradually moving her things out and stealing many valuables from me, my wife moved back in with her parents. After about a month, I had her served with divorce papers. She was not granted the amount of money she wanted and refused to sign. The judge told her that she would not get more and that she could not get anything else that was in the house until she signed. After 3 years and after enduring harassment, threats and unbearable amounts of stress, I am beyond ready for this to be over. What can I do to get the court to grant a divorce or make her sign the papers?

Please, please, please go and hire a competant attorney to help you. Mississippi has a no fault divorce statute and there is no reason you must be held a prisoner by your wife. You may need to go to trial on the issues of assets and spousal support but there will be an end at least to the madness. Mississippi allows for lump sum aliony payments as well as periodic payment. Let a judge issue a ruling and get it over with. She can not get from you what you yet to have - an inheritiance for example. Offer her no more. Play hardball and get her out of your life. Good luck.
