Seeking Positive Resolutions For Divorce Related Issues
Our firm handles contested and uncontested divorce cases. In order to obtain an uncontested divorce, you and your spouse will need to come to agreement on the terms of a divorce settlement, including issues such as the following:
- Division of marital assets: The court has the authority to divide any property owned by you or your spouse in order to achieve a fair distribution of assets in your divorce case. We will help you pursue a resolution that meets your needs.
- Child custody and visitation: One of the most important issues in any divorce case involving children is which parent will get physical custody of the children. Typically, the other parent will be granted some amount of visitation.
- Child support: Under Tennessee's child support guidelines, both parents' incomes are taken into account when calculating child support, along with factors such as the number of children each parent is supporting and the custody arrangements.
- Spousal support: When one spouse has become financially dependent upon the other during the marriage, the court can award spousal support, also known as alimony.
If you and your spouse cannot agree, your divorce becomes contested and we go to court to have a judge decide on the disputed issues, or we can pursue alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation.
Protecting Your Rights and Interests
The tough economy has made divorce financially difficult for many people. If it is possible that you or your spouse will need to file bankruptcy during or after your divorce, you should discuss this with your lawyer to make sure your rights are protected.
We pay close attention to how divorce settlements are going to affect our clients' day-to-day lives. Don't hesitate to contact us to discuss any concerns you may have about the divorce process in Tennessee.
