Old Hickory Family Law Attorneys

Serving Local Communities Since 1936

Family disputes can surface any time based on various factors, such as those concerning: 

• Money
• Children
• Infidelity

These often lead to divorce and all of its attendant issues, from child custody and visitation to child support, alimony, and the division of marital property and debt. Some of these issues can also arise in a post-divorce situation such as when custody and visitation schedules are violated, one parent wants to relocate with a child, or when child support falls into arrears. Such matters can be contentious and fraught with emotional turmoil for both parties which can have negative effects on everyone concerned.
