Empathetic Legal Professionals Helping Clients Through Emotionally Challenging and Legally Complex Family Law Matters in Middle Tennessee

Litigation and legal disputes between family members and close loved ones are often among the most contentious cases that ever end up in Tennessee courtrooms. Whether you are an individual going through divorce proceedings, are looking to modify an existing child custody agreement, or have other interests under the umbrella of family law, you need legal representation capable of advocating for your goals in your pursuit of justice and a favorable outcome.

Our Nashville family law attorneys have extensive experience representing clients in a diverse range of legal matters related to family law cases. As your professional legal counsel, we will tend to your specific needs, representing you both in and out of the courtroom, negotiating with parties on the other side, exploring options such as mediation, and helping you arrive at a satisfactory conclusion to your legal issues.

How Can Experienced Family Law Attorneys Serve Your Best Interests?

Many individuals facing complicated family law cases make the mistake of representing themselves without the guidance and advice of legal professionals. In such cases, these individuals may end up in court feeling overwhelmed by the various procedures, to say nothing about being outmatched by the lawyers representing the other party.

While anyone going through a family law matter would benefit from the legal services of experienced professionals, this is especially true in contested divorce cases, high-net-worth divorce proceedings, cases involving neglect or domestic violence, and practically any legal matter involving minor children. Our Nashville family attorneys have the experience to assist you throughout the process, and we can connect you with various resources that can also help you along the way.

Our team is committed to advocating for your family’s best interests and your personal legal rights, continually offering uniquely tailored strategies and compassionate legal support. As your attorneys, we are committed to you, the client. We will gather evidence to support your claims, perform all necessary due diligence, file the necessary paperwork, ensure that you arrive at all required courtroom hearings, negotiate on your behalf, and represent your interests in trial.

What Family Law Practice Areas Does Our Legal Team Represent?

Our Nashville law office represents clients in various family law legal issues. In every case, we approach the client with respect, dignity, and patience for all questions and concerns. We are knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate professionals dedicated to helping our clients through some of the most challenging days of their lives to achieve a better tomorrow for them and their family members.

Family law practice areas we represent include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following:

Divorce

Everyone understands that filing for divorce can be emotionally draining and potentially create more profound schisms between you and other loved ones at various stages of the process. In addition to being emotionally challenging, though, divorce proceedings can also be incredibly legally complicated. If you are going through a divorce, we recommend retaining professional legal representation to ensure your rights and goals are kept at the forefront. Our Nashville lawyers have experience representing both contested and uncontested divorce cases, and we would be proud to assist you during these difficult times.

Child Custody

A child custody case can begin cooperatively and then go off the rails into something far more contentious and riddled with conflict, with seemingly no warning at all. If you are in a difficult child custody dispute with the other parent, please get in touch with our firm for legal assistance. We can help explain the difference between legal and physical custody and help you seek either sole or joint custody of your children.

Child Support

If you are the legally recognized parent of a child, you have the legal obligation to provide for them until they reach a certain age. How much and who provides the child support payments will depend upon several factors, including the basics of the child custody arrangement. If you are looking for higher child support payments from the other parent, or you are trying to argue that you do not have the means to keep up with your child support obligations as the non-custodial parent, we can assist you in seeking a favorable resolution.

Property Division

Tennessee family law operates under the equitable distribution rules when dividing marital property in the event of a divorce. Equitable distribution does not necessarily mean that everything will be equally split down the middle 50/50, but instead that the property division will unfold in a manner that the judges believe to be fair to both parties. If you are looking to fight for what you believe is yours, identify marital and separate property, or think that your soon-to-be ex-spouse is hiding certain assets during the process, our law firm is here to help.

Spousal Support (Alimony)

Spousal support can be ordered in divorce cases where the spouses have unequal earning capacity, there were considerable contributions made to the marriage by one or both spouses, one spouse has significantly more assets than the other, the grounds for the divorce (such as adultery), and in other such cases. This financial support may be temporary or permanent, depending on the unique factors of your case. For help negotiating for a fair alimony agreement or modifying any existing agreement, contact our law office to schedule your free case evaluation.

Post-Decree Modifications

Sometimes, circumstances change dramatically in the months and years following the supposed resolution of a family law case. For example, perhaps the non-custodial parent has a new ability to take on additional parenting time and wants to adjust the visitation agreement. Similarly, maybe the parents paying child support obligations have lost their jobs and can no longer afford the payments as they were previously agreed upon. Our family lawyers can help you prove significant changes in circumstances to secure the modifications you desire.

Domestic Violence Orders of Protection

While many family law cases may be well served by allowing the two parties to cooperate and arrive at a favorable conclusion, sometimes that is unhealthy or unwise. For example, while mediation may help some divorcing spouses reach common ground, we would never recommend the mediation process for a divorcing couple that had a history of domestic violence or abuse in the home. If domestic violence occurred and you are trying to prove it to secure protective orders or achieve sole custody, contact our law office for legal guidance.

Mediation Legal Services

In mediation, a neutral third-party mediator sits down with the two parties in conflict and helps them reach common ground by going over their differences and negotiating acceptable compromises. There are several benefits to this alternative dispute resolution method, perhaps most notably in that it allows the two parties to decide on a settlement between themselves. In contrast, a judge would determine the outcome of their case if it went to trial. When going through the mediation process, it is strongly recommended to retain professional legal counsel to advocate for your rights, goals, and responsibilities.
