CHILD CUSTODY & CHILD SUPPORT

Understanding child custody and child support is crucial for families facing transitions like divorce or separation. Knowing what to expect and what your options are can make a significant difference. We’re here to provide clear, practical guidance to support you through these challenging times.

Child Custody

Handling child custody arrangements can be emotionally taxing, but with the right legal support, you can protect your parental rights and ensure the well-being of your children. In Tennessee, custody decisions are made based on the best interests of the child, taking into account factors such as:

The child’s relationship with each parent
The ability of each parent to provide a stable and nurturing environment
Any history of abuse or neglect
The child’s wishes if they are of sufficient age and maturity
Each parent’s willingness to foster a healthy relationship with the other parent

Child Support

Making sure that your children have the financial support they need is paramount. In Tennessee, child support calculations are based on each parent’s income, as well as the number of children requiring support. We will thoroughly review your financial circumstances to help establish child support arrangement is fair and equitable, taking into account factors such as:

Income from all sources, including wages, bonuses, and investments
Childcare expenses
Healthcare costs
Educational needs

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am very grateful for the support Elizabeth gave me throughout my divorce. She guided me every step of the way and made sure I understood the whole process from beginning to end. She helped me feel calm, more at peace, and confident in the decisions we were making. During mediation, she was very professional and always looking out for my best interest. I highly recommend her to anyone going through a divorce who wants a knowledgeable and caring attorney by their side.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My divorce attorney helped save my marriage, when did you ever hear such a thing, but for me this is exactly what happened.

I came to Elizabeth during a time a great distress, and prior to speaking with her, I felt as though everything was spinning out of control. I was overwhelmed by all of the complexities that suddenly emerge when one contemplates divorce. Elizabeth's counsel provided me with the legal roadmap and that alone freed up my mind space to focus on other things. All I could focus on prior to meeting with Elizabeth was the impending divorce I was considering, but with my mind at ease about the legal journey, I was able to focus on my relationship with clarity.
I recommend Elizabeth without reservation.
