Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between contested and uncontested divorce in Tennessee?
An uncontested divorce means both parties agree on all terms - property, custody, support - and the process is faster and less expensive. A contested divorce requires court involvement to resolve disputes, which takes more time and money.
How does Tennessee determine child custody arrangements?
Tennessee courts use a 'best interest of the child' standard and consider factors including the child's relationship with each parent, each parent's ability to provide stability, and the child's own preferences if they're old enough.
Can I modify a custody agreement after it's been ordered?
Yes - custody orders can be modified if there's been a material change in circumstances. An attorney can assess whether your situation meets the legal threshold for modification.
