Areas of Practice
Estate Planning
Estate planning is the process of anticipating and arranging for the management and disposal of that person's estate during the person's life, in the event the person becomes incapacitated and after death.
Divorce
The terms "divorce" and "separation" are often incorrectly used interchangeably. A separation is when marriage partners sever their financial relationship without the intent of ending the marriage. However, in a divorce, the court actually orders the termination of the marriage, thus permitting individuals to legally remarry.
There are two kinds of divorces: (1) Contested Divorce, and (2) Uncontested Divorce.
Prenuptial Agreements
Although previously considered with much controversy, prenuptial agreements (often referred to as "prenup" agreements) are becoming more commonplace in Nashville. They offer couples who are getting married the security of an agreement regarding such topics as child custody, spousal support and property distribution in the case of a divorce or the death of one spouse.
