Our Attorneys Represent Your Best Interests
Over the course of a marriage, each spouse contributes in his or her own way to the prosperity of the family. During a divorce, those contributions are often examined closely in order to determine the most beneficial and fair way to divide assets and account for other important matters. Without legal representation from skilled and knowledgeable attorneys, you may not be sure that your contributions to the family have been fairly assessed, and you may end up in a less than advantageous situation.
When you hire our divorce attorneys in Knoxville to represent you throughout the divorce proceedings, we will make sure that you get a fair portion of the assets that you and your spouse accumulated.
In Tennessee, marital property is divided evenly, regardless of whose name is on the paperwork. Courts will need to examine the length of the relationship, the contribution of each spouse, and other factors in order to determine a fair and equitable distribution of those assets. We will make sure that you are given exactly what you deserve through this division.
Our team makes the divorce process less complicated for our clients, even though the process itself can be very difficult on an emotional level. While you focus on emotional healing, we will concentrate our efforts on making sure you can move forward with your life without financial strain.
What Makes a Divorce So Complicated?
Divorces can be complicated when there are children involved, many valuable assets, and specific financial arrangements in place. Such matters as child custody and visitation, the division of assets, and spousal support are all issues that can make the divorce process extremely complex, especially if you are not well aware of the specific laws in Tennessee regarding divorce.
With the above factors under consideration, it is likely that a couple may not be able to agree on the best way to settle these issues without the intervention of the court system. Determining who will have custody of the children, how spousal support payments will be arranged (and how much is awarded), and how assets will be divided is often difficult between the spouses, so a court may be the best neutral party to make these decisions.
When this is the case, it is usually a wise choice to get assistance and representation from an experienced divorce attorney. At OEB Law, our team will work diligently to ensure that your best interests are always kept in mind and that you will not come out of the divorce in a dire financial situation. Whatever is most important to you will become most important to us as we represent you in your divorce.
What Is an Uncontested Divorce?
One of the easiest ways to get through the divorce process is to have an uncontested divorce. This means that you and your spouse agree on everything that is part of the divorce process. This includes:
- Division of assets and debts
- Parenting plan, including custody and child support
- Spousal support
If you and your spouse are able to communicate openly and effectively with one another and have found a way to agree on the above terms, you may qualify for an uncontested divorce. Each of you should still have an attorney to review paperwork and ensure that all documents are filed properly. By the end of the process, you will be able to sign the divorce paperwork without a battle for any particular assets or important matters.
Why Is an Attorney Necessary Even in an Uncontested Divorce?
Even in an uncontested divorce, it is still advisable to enlist the legal representation of an expert divorce attorney. Our legal team will be able to provide you with the best possible legal advice and make sure that everything which is important to you is settled through your divorce agreement. Although you and your spouse may not be contesting any aspect of the divorce, it is wise to allow a legal expert to review your documents and ensure that everything is fair and balanced.
