Navigating with Experience and Compassion
At Becker Law Firm, we understand the emotional challenges of family law matters. Our experienced attorneys provide compassionate and effective legal support to protect your interests and guide you through these difficult times. We are here to help you.
Divorce and Separation
Divorce is never an easy choice. The reality is that marriage is as much an economic joining of two people as it is a romantic one and divorce is the opposite side of that coin. Because of this, there are economic issues involved in a divorce. However, there are also emotional and psychological issues that have to be addressed. Our firm understands both the financial and emotional aspects of the divorce. While divorce is unfortunate, it is also a fact of life in Tennessee and sometimes the only way to protect either one of the parties or the children of the marriage.
Child Custody Matters
While divorce is hardly unique, it is still difficult. This difficulty is multiplied if there are children of the marriage. Consequently, if you are getting divorced, we expect that the impact on your children is probably uppermost in your mind. Who gets primary custody? What will the visitation arrangements be? How will the kids be affected by the process? These are all questions we have helped countless clients answer over the years. Our experience has driven us to the firm conclusion that this is not the sort of area for an “off the shelf” or “one-size-fits-all” arrangement. Your life and family are unique, the solutions to these issues should take that into account.
Mediation and Negotiation
We offer mediation services to help families resolve disputes amicably, fostering cooperation and minimizing conflict during challenging times.
Prenuptial Agreements
Prenuptial agreements are simply contracts or agreements that parties enter into prior to a marriage that set out what will happen in the event of the dissolution of a marriage. A good prenuptial can be used to protect both your assets prior to the time of the marriage and even possibly limit the liability at the end of the marriage, by in some instances limiting factors that can determine the amount of alimony that a spouse can receive. Agreements can also help prevent the parties' families from fighting upon the death of one spouse by protecting the family's interests and keeping the property from transferring to the surviving spouse.
