Supervised visitation in Hattiesburg — the Hub City

Hattiesburg earned its Hub City nickname sitting at the crossroads of south Mississippi, and it plays the same role for Pine Belt families today — a metro anchored by the University of Southern Mississippi and William Carey, straddling Forrest and Lamar Counties, with Petal across the Leaf River and Oak Grove growing fast on the west side. The county line matters here: it determines which Chancery Court hears your case.

TruVisit Mississippi supervisors meet Pine Belt families at locations close to the child's home. We don't charge mileage and we don't build the schedule around our convenience.

Hattiesburg families and the Chancery Court

Divorce, custody, and visitation for Hattiesburg residents are heard in Chancery Court — the Forrest County Chancery Court in Hattiesburg for the east side and Petal, and the Lamar County Chancery Court in Purvis for Oak Grove and the west side. Chancellors decide custody under Mississippi's best-interest framework and frequently appoint guardians ad litem in contested cases. Our session reports are objective, timestamped, and formatted so they can be filed with either court, delivered to your attorney, or shared with a GAL.

Two counties, one provider Hattiesburg families often live in one county and litigate in the other. Our documentation follows the same standard regardless of which chancery district your case sits in — so a move across the county line never resets your file.

Pricing
