Divorce in Tennessee
Divorce in Tennessee can be complex. The courts will divide your property based on a number of factors, including individual financial strength, the length of the marriage, and the ability of each person to earn and develop assets. Similar factors are also taken into account when determining the amount of spousal support, or alimony, if any. The idea is that the courts try to be fair and equitable when dividing property.
When it comes to making a child custody determination, the courts will primarily consider what will be in the best interests of the child. Depending on the circumstances, the courts will try to give equal time to each parent. We can evaluate your situation and help present your case for custody. If you are not granted custody, we can still help you with visitation matters. We can also handle custody modifications when situations change.
Child Support
The lawyers at Thompson Law Group, PLLC, understand how the courts calculate child support. Usually, the state will base support payments on the amount of time each parent spends with the child, as well as the income of each parent and each parent's ability to provide day care and health care.
Although the actual payment amounts are calculated using a formula designed by the state, the court will also consider other benefits that you may provide, such as health care insurance availability. You may be able to change divorce-related agreements through post-divorce modifications if facts and circumstances warrant a change.
