Mississippi Amended Answer

Once a defendant has answered, a first amended complaint can only be filed and served with leave of court. If the plaintiff did not get the court's permission, it is not deemed a valid first amended complaint.

An answer may be amended once without leave of court within ten (10) days after the answer was filed, or if there is a demurrer to the answer, amendment without leave of court may be made before the demurrer hearing. Amendment as a matter of right is made by filing and serving the amended pleading.
