Post Divorce Actions

 

Although divorce legally severs the intimate relationship between adults, divorcing parties who have children, pay or receive alimony or have an agreement or Court Order whereby marital property is sold or distributed at some future date may be tied together through those issues for years to come. R. Samuel English is experienced in post-divorce cases. I have handled numerous Tennessee post-divorce cases. I understand the sensitive, personal issues involved in these cases, as well as the potential serious financial impact they carry. My goal is to provide you with the aggressive and attentive representation the case demands.

 

If you are thinking of changing your current parenting schedule, recalculating the amount of child support you pay or receive, I can give you the representation you need. Parties often make verbal agreements without executing an amendment to their original divorce. You and your former spouse may have agreed with the new “rules” you have discussed. Unfortunately, if future conflicts arise, what was once “understood” is now usually claimed as “never agreed to” by one of the parties, and since Courts tend not to recognize oral agreements, the original Order is likely to stand with appropriate penalties assessed, if any, to the party who is not acting in accordance with that Order.

 

Post-divorce issues often center around the children’s schedules and payment of support. Changes may be necessary, which are not driven by the fault or inability of either party to parent, but as a natural result of the growth of the child(ren), their changing schedules, needs and/or desires. Changes in the Parenting Plan of the parents may result in a recalculation of the Child Support. Additionally, there are specific standards which apply to changes in the parenting schedules, support and relocation of any children outside the State of Tennessee which you should understand in the event you and your ex-spouse do not agree to the proposed change.

 

 

Conflicts may arise in the way you or your ex-spouse interpret the provisions of your divorce Order. In some cases, the meaning of a particular provision is not readily apparent or easily understood. R. Samuel English is experienced in interpreting divorce Orders and committed to resolving such conflicts to your satisfaction as the law allows. You may discover that your need for alimony has increased or, if you are obligated to pay alimony, that your ability to pay has decreased or that the initial time allotted for alimony is approaching and that you want payments continue. You may remarry, retire, or your children may be entering college. There are a lot of factors that play into the payment of support. I will discuss all those with you on a case by case basis.
