What is Family Law?
Family law involves a wide array of domestic cases and family-related issues. It can range from legal separation to complex divorces to child support issues to domestic violence incidents.
Our legal team handles the following practice areas:
Divorce and Separation Lawyers in Nashville
Breaking apart a family can be an extremely stressful and anxiety-producing time. We understand the uncertainty and fear that your family is feeling right now, and we appreciate the trust and confidence you put in us to help you through. Through education and careful analysis, GSRM Law’s divorce lawyers, serving Nashville and beyond, can provide the legal counsel to help you move beyond the emotional upheaval through a well-reasoned plan to an ultimate resolution.
Property Division
Property division can be complicated, especially if there is quite a bit of property between you and your partner. As a result, it is essential to hire a lawyer who understands what the assets and debts are, how they are characterized, and how they can be divided appropriately between the two parties. The experienced divorce lawyers at GSRM Law know that the division of assets and debts is essential to the security and well-being for your future.
Child Support and Custody Lawyers in Nashville
As a parent, your children and their well-being are paramount. How will you tell your children about the divorce or separation? How will they be least affected by the process? What will their lives look like in the end? All of these questions and more are the correct ones to be asking an attorney. Our child custody and child support attorneys in Nashville will discuss with you the needs of your children and your desires to create a parenting plan tailored for your children. Sole Custody and Joint Custody are the two most common custodial arrangements. These can include physical or legal custody for the custodial parent. These negotiations are also important in understanding what child support payments will be. Our Nashville family lawyer team can help you navigate your custody case and provide the best result for your children.
Spousal Support
Various forms of alimony are available in Tennessee for a spouse who is unable to support him or herself or needs assistance. The type, amount, and length of time will vary with each case. Attorneys at GSRM Law can assist you in determining what support, if any, is appropriate in your situation.
Mediation and Arbitration
Mediation is a process used to resolve disputes using a neutral person to conduct settlement discussions and reach a resolution. It is best utilized when attorneys are involved. The attorneys at GSRM Law have been very successful serving as mediators and working out solutions for both sides. In the alternative, they are very skilled at serving as an advocate for your side if you choose the process.
Domestic Violence Lawyers (DV) in Nashville
There are civil and criminal penalties for domestic violence. Orders of Protection, restraining orders, and criminal warrants may be obtained. In some situations, these remedies are necessary. In some instances, someone may be falsely accused. The attorneys at GSRM Law understand how the system works and how relief can be obtained.
Prenuptial Agreements
The terms of the arrangements for life together are of critical importance. What are the rights and obligations of each person? If the relationship does not last, what is the result? How is ownership of property affected? What if children are involved? What occurs in the event of the death of one or both of the partners? These are a few of the questions that should be considered. Attorneys at GSRM Law can discuss the ramifications of these situations and more as you plan your future.
Post-Divorce Disputes
Even after the divorce is granted or judgment is rendered, problems may arise. The issues could be in the form of following or not following the orders of a judgment of the court or seeking to change them. Financial situations could change, possibly affecting alimony and child support. Child custody situations, including the primary residential parent, the alternate residential parent, decision-making authority, and parenting time arrangements, may need to be altered. There are many other situations which may require a close inspection after the last order or judgment. Attorneys at GSRM Law can help you evaluate your post-divorce or post-judgment dispute.
Not all family law matters can be resolved without the court’s assistance. It is imperative in court that your lawyer is well-prepared, well-reasoned, well-spoken, and understands your desired results. Our family law attorneys in Nashville are competent trial lawyers with exceptional abilities to try complex financial and custody matters. As a result, many of our litigation cases settle before trial as our opponents know how prepared we will be and how successful we often are in prevailing.
Collaborative Law
A method of resolving divorce and other family law matters in which both people are involved in a respectful problem-solving approach to reach mutually beneficial solutions. It is a way to protect your assets, safeguard your children from the potentially harmful effects of protracted court proceedings, and maintain relationships. The lawyers at GSRM Law are experienced collaborative lawyers committed to helping clients achieve their goals.
