At Burdine Law Firm, our Frankin family law attorneys’ services include:

Divorce

Whether you are having a contentious divorce, it is important that your interests are protected in your marital dissolution agreement. Divorce is a difficult period for most people and the emotions involved can cloud your judgment. At Burdine Law Firm, our Franklin divorce lawyers have the skills and the resources to tackle even the most complex divorce cases. Our experienced divorce attorneys believe that no stone should be left unturned in your marital dissolution agreement and are ready to guide you through the divorce process.

Child Custody & Modification

At Burdine Law Firm, we understand that the best outcome is what is in the best interest of the child. We are knowledgeable about child custody laws and approaches to child custody matters and our goal is to ensure that the best interests of your children are served. Whether you are seeking to develop a child custody agreement or modify an existing child custody agreement, a Franklin child custody attorney at Burdine Law Firm can guide you through the legal process, explain your rights and options, and negotiate an agreement that represents a fair outcome and prioritizes your child’s well-being. We will represent you in court if necessary to achieve the desired outcome.

Fathers’ Rights

At Burdine Law Firm, we support the important role that fathers can play in their children’s lives. We can safeguard your rights, help to legally establish your relationship with your child through a paternity action, and argue that a continuous relationship with you is in your child’s best interests.

Grandparents’ Rights

Grandparents in some situations may have legal grounds to request formal grandparent visitation in Tennessee. Our skilled legal advocates can explain your rights and how we can help when you call for a confidential consultation.

Relocations

After a child custody order is in place, the custodial parent may wish to relocate. The parent must provide written notice to the non-custodial parent and the court if the move is more than 50 miles away from the non-custodial parent’s home. The non-custodial parent has the right to object to this move if it would interfere with the relationship with the child. Our experienced Franklin family law attorneys can pursue or defend relocation disputes.

Child Support

In Tennessee, both parents are responsible for financially supporting their children. Tennessee child support guidelines establish a presumptive amount of support based on the parents’ ability to pay and the child’s needs. Our lawyers can help establish, enforce, and modify child support orders.

Spousal Support

Tennessee allows for the award of spousal support in cases where one spouse needs financial support and the other can provide it. Our experienced attorneys can discuss the type(s) of spousal support that may apply in your case and how courts calculate the amount of support.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

Tennessee recognizes valid prenuptial and postnuptial agreements when proper legal procedures are followed. Our attorneys can help draft agreements that protect your interests, review proposed agreements, and challenge those that were established under duress.

Adoptions & Guardianships

Adoptions and guardianship can be very complex legal matters. Whether you are adopting from birth parents, a private agency, or a foster agency, the adoption lawyers in Franklin at Burdine Law Firm can help you navigate the legal complexities and requirements of adoption and guardianships. Having a qualified lawyer to help during this wonderful transition can make everything move smoother for you.

Domestic Violence Protective Orders

Nobody should have to endure abuse – especially those the perpetrator claims to love. If a family member has abused you or your child, we can seek domestic violence protective orders, which instruct the respondent not to commit further acts of abuse and order them to stay away from the victim. These orders can also help establish temporary guidelines for visitation and child support.

Alternatives to Litigation

At Burdine Law Firm, we know that each family is unique. We do not employ a one-size-fits-all approach when handling your legal matter. When appropriate, we can use alternatives to costly and protracted legal battles by seeking to negotiate with the other party for an amicable resolution of your case.

We also offer collaborative divorce services in which we work together as a team with you, your spouse, and your spouse’s attorney to reach an amicable settlement out of court, saving you the time, frustration, and expense of a trial.

Our family law attorneys can also represent you in mediation in which a third party neutral helps you and another party reach a fair settlement out of court. Whether your case is negotiated, mediated, or litigated, our knowledgeable team of family lawyers will be on your side, protecting your rights every step of the way.

Post Divorce Legal Services

Divorce is often complicated. Some parties are able to resolve all their issues by an agreement. Others may require hearings or trials to resolve their issues. A divorce agreement can also be impacted by unforeseen life events, which may necessitate the modification of orders such as child support and child custody orders, or spousal support orders in Franklin. Enforcement of divorce orders may also require the intervention of the courts. With Ms. Burdine’s years of experience as a divorce litigator, we are ready to take your matter to court to get the best outcome possible in your case.
