Legal Help With Uncontested Divorce
At Abernathy, Story, Stovall, Hood, Harris, Garner, Ashworth and Campbell, An Association of Attorneys, our Franklin, Tennessee, lawyers review each step with you so that you are prepared for everything that might arise. Even if you think you agree with your spouse about everything and are planning an uncontested divorce, it is important to have a detached review of your situation to prevent mistakes that could be costly in the months and years to come.
Temporary Restraining Orders
After one party files for divorce, the court will issue a standard temporary restraining order. This order prevents either spouse from making changes, such as closing bank accounts, moving out of state, quitting his or her job, or making any other changes that could affect the outcome of the divorce proceedings. We will review this order with you to ensure that you do not accidentally violate its terms and make your situation even more complicated.
Child Custody and Child Support
We also make sure that clients who are parents complete the seminar required by the state of Tennessee to help mothers and fathers work together for the benefit of their children, even though they are divorcing. They will need to establish parenting plans and visitation schedules; being able to work together on these matters despite their divorce will make them more effective parents. We help clients work through the state's child support calculator to arrive at the appropriate amount of child support to be paid or received.
Property Division and Alimony
We also help clients protect themselves during the property division phase of divorce. In some instances, one spouse may be required to pay alimony, also known as spousal support. We make sure that the divorce court has all the information it needs to make a fair determination in each of these areas.
