Divorce, Procedure and Process

Tennessee Lawyer for Counsel Throughout Divorce

Divorce may begin as a decision — mutual or otherwise — but it quickly becomes a legal process with many steps and requirements. This process for dissolution of marriage cannot be completed "overnight," even in cases where there is little to divide or dispute. Under Tennessee law, a divorce with children takes a minimum of 90 days, and a divorce without children takes a minimum of 60 days.

When you contact Stan Kweller for a consultation, you can expect to receive an accurate overview of the divorce process in Tennessee. If this is your first divorce, it is especially important to understand the information you will need to gather and the decisions you will need to make along the way.

Knowledgeable, Realistic Counsel for Pursuing Your Goals

Stan Kweller knows what facts the court is likely to consider in a divorce proceeding. This enables him to ask the right questions about how your household operated before your separation, who handled which child care responsibilities, as well as any special circumstances you believe should be considered. Stan Kweller is committed to applying this information to support your objectives in critical areas that include:

• Parenting time arrangements, often called child custody and visitation
• Decision making authority on issues concerning your children
• Establishment of alimony or spousal support, if any is being sought
• Orders for child support
• Division of property, including complex marital assets
• Proper recognition of nonfinancial contributions you made to the household and accumulation of assets

Stan makes it clear to all of his clients about an unpleasant fact of the divorce process: going to court is time consuming, costly and often much more emotionally stressful than divorcing parties anticipate. Stan will give you an honest assessment of your case and a range of possible outcomes. Although Stan is aware of the costs associated with litigation, he will fight for you if that is the only way to achieve your goals.

If your goals include preserving assets and staying out of divorce court if possible, contact Stan Kweller to discuss your situation. If you must ultimately go to court, you will want to do so with an experienced litigator like Stan Kweller.
