The full range of Tennessee family law.

Divorce

Contested, uncontested, and collaborative dissolutions.

Guidance through every stage of divorce in Tennessee — from filing and temporary orders to final decree — with attention to long-term stability for you and your children.

Parenting Time & Custody

Protecting the bond between parent and child.

Parenting plans, primary residential parent designations, and visitation schedules crafted around your family — with particular experience representing fathers seeking meaningful, active involvement.

Child Support

Establishment, enforcement, and review under Tennessee guidelines.

Accurate income and expense analysis, deviations where appropriate, and a clear-eyed view of what the guidelines will and won’t change over time.

Legal Separation

A structured pause when divorce isn’t the right step yet.

For couples who need time, financial clarity, or space without dissolving the marriage — legal separation orders can address support, custody, and property in the interim.

Property & Debt Division

Equitable division of marital assets and liabilities.

From homes and retirement accounts to closely-held businesses and shared debt — a careful accounting of what is separate, what is marital, and how to divide it fairly under Tennessee law.

Spousal Maintenance

Alimony that reflects the reality of the marriage.

Analysis of Tennessee’s alimony statutes — rehabilitative, transitional, in futuro, and in solido — with attention to earning capacity, contributions, and post-divorce financial footing.

Modifications

Updating orders as life changes.

Substantial changes in circumstance — a move, a job change, an evolving parent-child relationship — often warrant a modification. We help you evaluate and, when appropriate, pursue one.

Mediation

Resolution without the adversarial courtroom.

Court-referred and voluntary mediation for family disputes. We prepare thoroughly, negotiate steadily, and only litigate when it truly serves you.

Prenuptial Agreements

Clarity before the wedding.

Enforceable prenuptial agreements drafted with financial disclosure and independent counsel in mind — protecting both parties without setting an adversarial tone.

Post-Nuptial Agreements

Aligning expectations after the vows.

For couples navigating changed circumstances — an inheritance, a new business, a reconciliation — post-nuptial agreements provide structure and shared understanding.

Guardianship

Legal authority to care for a minor or dependent adult.

Establishment and administration of guardianships, including contested proceedings and ongoing reporting obligations under Tennessee law.
