Areas of Practice

Divorce & Legal Separation

Although some clients have already agreed to all issues necessary to form a final settlement before one or both of them retain counsel, it is extremely rare since most non-lawyers do not know every issue that needs to be agreed upon. For that reason, we do not distinguish between a contested or uncontested divorce when determining our retainers and fees. Obviously, the more issues you and your spouse can agree upon, the less work your lawyer will have to perform and the lower your attorney fees will be. Click here for more

Child Support

The amount of child support is determined by applying the Tennessee Child Support Guidelines. Support is determined using several factors including the amount of time each child spends with each parent, each parent’s income, the cost of work–related child care, the cost of healthcare coverage, unusual or special expenses for the child, only to name a few.

Child Custody

Tennessee no longer favors the term custody. Instead we refer to one parent as the primary residential parent and the other parent as alternate residential parent, and both parents have parenting time with the child or children. So the question becomes who will be primary residential parent and how will parenting time be allotted. The goal in Tennessee is for children to spend as much time with each parent, consistent with the children’s best interests. Click here for more

“High quality with a quick turn around.  My siblings and I wanted to be sure and have all of the necessary legal protection for our ailing mother.  One call to Kendra’s office is all it took.  A couple of emails later we had my mother and our family completely protected.”

Frequently Asked Questions

How much will my divorce cost?

The cost of your divorce will depend on a number of factors that may be difficult to predict and are often impossible to control. For example, if your spouse’s attorney files numerous pleadings with the Court which require a response from you, then your attorney will obviously have to spend a great deal of time preparing your response. Additionally, you may be able to recover some or all of your attorney fees from your spouse if the Judge orders it. Click here for more

How long will my divorce take?

Unfortunately it can be difficult for divorcing families to address and agree on every issue that needs to be included in your settlement. As a result, the typical divorce may take anywhere from six months to one year. In those instances where couples are unable to take an amicable and cooperative approach, it is not unusual of for a divorce to drag on for more than a year. Click here for more

How does alimony work?

The law requires a fact based analysis of several factors including the duration of the marriage, the income and resources of each spouse, and other factors. Regardless of the type or duration of alimony, the amount of alimony is determined by the needs of the spouse receiving alimony and the ability of the other spouse to pay it. Click here for more
