Experienced Family Law Counsel
There is a common belief that courts will favor the mother when it comes time make a child custody determination. While this may have been true in the past, it is no longer necessarily the case. Courts will consider the best interests of the child first and foremost, and will do what they can to make sure each parent is given equal time with the child. At Thompson Law Group, PLLC, our Nashville fathers' rights attorneys can help dads with child custody matters and ensure that their interests are well represented.
The Best Interests of the Child
Our Tennessee family law lawyers understand the process that the courts will use when making child custody determinations. The court will primarily consider what is in the best interests of the child. The factors that are considered include:
- The existing relationship between the parent and child
- The ability of each parent to provide for the child
- The current living situation between the parent and the child
- The child's preference, if old enough to decide
We will work with both your interests and the interests of your child in mind. If it is necessary to seek a custody modification due to changed circumstances, we can help you with that as well. We will stand up for your rights as a father to ensure that the stereotypes of the past do not enter into a court's custody determination.
We Handle Other Matters Affecting Fathers
In addition to helping fathers with child custody matters, the attorneys at Thompson Law Group, PLLC, handle other family law issues that impact fathers, including divorce, property division, child support and spousal support modifications. We will work closely with you to determine your goals and objectives, and inform you of how the law is likely to impact your case. In every situation, we will tailor our representation to your unique situation as we work toward achieving a favorable outcome.
