Filing for Divorce in Tennessee
If you want to file for divorce or are dealing with another family law issue, you need honest advice so you can make an informed decision about how to move forward with your case. Whether your divorce is contested or uncontested, we can help you.
Will Your Divorce Be Contested or Uncontested?
Our firm handles contested and uncontested divorce cases. In order to obtain an uncontested divorce, you and your spouse will need to come to an agreement on the terms of a divorce settlement, including issues such as the following:
The court has the authority to divide any property owned by you or your spouse in order to achieve a fair distribution of assets in your divorce case. We will help you pursue a resolution that meets your needs.
One of the most important issues in any divorce case involving children is which parent will get physical custody of the children. Typically, the other parent will be granted some amount of visitation.
Under Tennessee’s child support guidelines, both parents’ incomes are taken into account when calculating child support, along with other factors such as the number of children each parent is supporting and the custody arrangements. In Tennessee, you are ordered to continue to pay child support until the child turns 18 or the child graduates from high school. For more information about child support, click here.
When one spouse has become financially dependent upon the other during the marriage, the court can award spousal support, also known as alimony.

Client Testimonial
After consulting with five other attorneys, I hired Lewis to represent me in my rather messy and stressful divorce. Lewis knows how important it is for the client to be aware of the overall process and the various obstacles that are possible in a divorce proceeding. Lewis and his assistant were quick to respond to any questions I had with answers that not only educated me but also put my mind at ease.
Regardless of the fact that my spouse repeatedly tried to draw out or stall the process, Lewis maintained the forward momentum. Lewis did an excellent job defending me when my spouse made numerous false and ugly accusations. Throughout it all, Lewis conducted himself in a professional manner, kept each court appearance (of which, there were many) on topic, went above and beyond by drafting and submitting all court orders without delay, and received several compliments from the Judge for his professionalism and performance. Unlike my spouse, the Judge never had to openly criticize or chastise my attorney.
Lewis effectively protected my rights, ensured that I received the assets that I was entitled to, and did not allow my spouse to leave me with all of the debt.
I have already passed his name to two friends that are considering divorce and I will continue to refer others to him.”
