Elements of Tennessee Divorce
Divorce is never an easy process. After building a life with the person you loved, you realize things aren't working. In divorce, you need to disengage from that person and start working to rebuild your life without them. Although the emotional aspects will be challenging, an experienced lawyer can help address the legal aspects, so you know the process will move forward as it should.
I am Rhonda R. Crabtree, Attorney at Law, and I have been representing clients in divorce matters since 2002. Prior to opening my own law firm, I worked in the mental health field for 12 years. This experience gave me an in-depth understanding of the psychological matters people experience when they are working through a divorce.
I represent clients who are going through divorce in the Nashville or Clarksville, Tennessee, area. Contact me online or call 615-246-5558 to schedule your free initial consultation.
Looking Through the Judge's Eyes
After being married to a person they once loved, many people have a hard time saying negative things about the other party. Although that can be difficult, it is necessary to be thorough and honest about the things that happened in your marriage. The judge cannot make a fair decision without complete information.
I work closely with my clients, encouraging them to speak in detail about the things their spouse did. To help my clients look at their case in the same way the judge will, I encourage them to:
- Take their kids to a therapist to understand the impact the divorce had on them
- Keep copies of diaries or other documentation explaining negative instances in the marriage
- Store the documentation outside of the home to keep it safe
Child Support and Alimony
When there are children involved in a divorce, the primary concerns of both sides are often regarding the parenting plan. Parents are worried about whether they will be able to spend enough time with their children, and they are concerned about child support. Some parents worry about whether they will be able to receive the money they need, while others worry about being able to afford the amount they have been ordered to pay.
When clients contact me, I help them understand the finer details of divorce. I work closely with clients to address eligibility for alimony, division of assets and how inherited gifts are divided, and other things that may be brought up in court.
