Representing the Rights of East Tennessee Parents in Child Custody and Child Support Cases
Whether you are getting a divorce or have never been married, child custody and child support matters are highly argued and emotionally charged. Each parent may be aggressively advocating for him or herself, but it is the best interests of the children that must govern the way in which the case is handled.

Child Custody
When dealing with child custody in Tennessee, it is important to note that there are no set rules. The courts consider the best interests of the child when making a determination about how custody should be awarded. Whether you are seeking joint physical custody, legal custody, sole custody or simply child visitation, our firm can help you understand the likelihood that you will be awarded that type of custody and how we can proceed with the case.
Child Support
In Tennessee, child support is set by state guidelines and determined by entering a range of numbers into a formula. This formula takes into consideration the income of both parents, the number of children, and other factors such as day care or health care. It is important that child support be ordered by a court in order to see that it is enforceable going forward and that your child can get the money he or she deserves.
- We also handle the modification of child support and child custody orders if there is a drastic change in circumstances of one of the parents, such as the loss of a job.
