Common Questions

Questions About Family Law

How is child custody decided in Tennessee?

Tennessee courts decide custody based on the best interests of the child. Parents set out custody and time with the children in a parenting plan, which the court approves or decides.

Do we have to go to court to get divorced?

Not always. Many couples settle through negotiation or mediation, and the court then approves the agreement. When an agreement is not possible, we prepare your case for court.

Can a custody order be changed later?

A custody order can be changed when circumstances change significantly. We can review your current order and explain whether a change may be possible.
