Services
We offer a wide range of family law services, including:
- Divorce: Going through a divorce is never easy, but we are here to help. We will guide you through the process, from filing the petition to dividing assets and determining alimony. Our goal is to help you move on with your life as quickly and efficiently as possible.
- Child Custody: Child custody is often one of the most contentious issues in a divorce. We will work with you to develop a parenting plan that is in the best interest of your child. Our goal is to help you and your former spouse develop a plan that will allow you to co-parent effectively.
- Child Support: Tennessee courts follow child support guidelines established by the Department of Human Services. We can help you understand these guidelines and ensure that your child receives the support they deserve.
- Alimony: Alimony, or spousal support, is awarded in some divorces to help the receiving spouse maintain their standard of living. We can help you understand the factors considered in determining alimony and ensure that any award is fair and just.
- Property Division: Dividing assets and debts can be one of the most challenging aspects of a divorce. We will work with you to ensure that the division is fair and equitable.
- Post-Divorce Issues: Even after a divorce is finalized, issues may arise that require legal intervention. We can help you modify custody or support agreements, enforce court orders, and address other post-divorce issues.
- Adoption: Adopting a child is a joyous occasion, but the process can be complex and time-consuming. We can help you navigate the adoption process and ensure that everything is done correctly.
- Mediation: Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution that can be used to resolve family law issues outside of court. We can help you negotiate a settlement that is fair and equitable.
