Divorce in Tennessee
Tennessee grounds for divorce range from irreconcilable differences in a no-fault divorce to alcohol or drug addiction, abandonment, cruelty, and other inappropriate marital conduct in fault-based divorces.
No-fault divorce can be faster and less complicated because fault does not have to be proven in court. However, to avoid litigation, you must agree on relevant issues, such as child custody, child support, alimony, and marital property and debt distribution.
Where the above issues are contested, negotiation and mediation may be needed to reach mutual divorce agreements.
Child support is required and is based on state guidelines. Alimony is also available in Tennessee, based on various factors, like the length of the marriage, each spouse’s financial condition, and the ability of the recipient spouse to be self-sufficient.
Parenting Plans
A Parenting Plan is a document that outlines how parents will raise their child post-divorce. It includes details on custody arrangements, visitation schedules, and decision-making responsibilities. Custody is decided based on the child’s best interests, considering factors like the parent’s ability to provide for the child, the child’s relationship with each parent, and the stability of each parent’s home environment.
Courts favor shared custody arrangements where possible with the view that children do better when maintaining a continuing relationship with both parents after divorce.
Over time, custody or child support terms can be modified if life circumstances change significantly. This might include changes in a parent’s income, relocation, or a child’s needs.
These modifications must be sought through the courts as custody and child support are legally binding; a judge must approve changes to maintain legality.
