Court of Appeals of Mississippi January 6, 2015, No. 2013-CA-01769-COA (Jones v. Brown)

FAIR, J.,

for the Court:

¶ 1. “Margaret Jones” and “David Brown” had a daughter, “Christina,” out of wedlock.1 After they broke up, David took Christina and sued for custody. Margaret’s mother intervened, contending that neither natural parent was fit because of their histories of drug use. The chancery court found the natural-parent presumption intact and awarded custody to David.
