Comprehensive Legal Service in a Divorce Settlement
There are a lot of moving parts in a divorce case, and our attorneys handle everything from start to finish, including:
Property Division
We have an in-depth understanding of Tennessee’s equitable distribution laws and a meticulous approach to inventorying assets. We assist clients in identifying and valuing all marital properties, from standard assets like homes and retirement accounts to more complex holdings, such as businesses or investment portfolios. Our goal is to get you your fair share and secure agreements that are structured to protect your financial future.
Child Custody and Support
When children are involved, their well-being is the top priority. Our attorneys work diligently to craft custody and visitation agreements that promote stability and reflect the best interests of the child. We also guide parents through the calculations and modifications of child support, ensuring compliance with state guidelines while advocating for fair arrangements.
Spousal Support
Whether you seek support to maintain your financial stability or are being asked to provide alimony, we offer practical advice and sound representation. Our team carefully evaluates factors like income disparity, duration of the marriage, and potential earning capacities to negotiate or litigate agreements that protect your financial interests.
Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements
Marital agreements can play a significant role in divorce cases. These agreements help clarify the division of property and assets. Whether you’re drafting a new agreement or enforcing an existing one, our team is experienced in establishing clear, binding documentation that stands up to legal scrutiny.
