Relocation of Children and Visitation
Few aspects of divorce are simple and Relocation of Children and Visitation can be one of the most complicated. Several Tennessee laws and statues affect a divorced parent's relocation when minor children are involved. You need an attorney who understands these concepts and who can help you navigate the legal implications of a distant move. Robert Wilkinson is just such an attorney.
Mr. Wilkinson is familiar with the facets of child relocation and visitation issues after a divorce. He can explain the applicable laws and help you determine how best to proceed in the event you need to move away from your present home or out of state.
Child Support
When a family is divided by divorce, their financial situation can often change dramatically. For newly single parents, adequate child support ensures their children have the money needed to provide for their healthcare, education costs, daily living expenses and other essentials.
Many factors affect the amount of child support the court may award. These include the gross income of each parent, daycare costs, health insurance costs, how many days a child is with each parent and more. Mr. Wilkinson is well versed in these and other Tennessee Child Support guidelines. As such, he will work tirelessly to help you receive fair and equitable child support to meet your children's current and future financial needs.
Alimony and Spousal Support
When a couple divorces, one spouse may often be awarded Alimony or Spousal Support depending on the specific circumstances. While there is no clear-cut formula for assigning such support, the goal is to ensure both spouses are able to maintain a reasonable standard of living, even if one requires financial assistance to do so. Robert Wilkinson understands that there are many factors affecting how and when the court awards spousal support. He can assist you in determining which of these factors apply to your situation and in best presenting your needs to the court.
Alimony may be awarded to a spouse who hasn't worked, or who earns less than the other spouse, to a spouse who may need to return to school or complete a college degree, or to a spouse who received less property than the other in the divorce settlement. The length of the marriage may also affect spousal support, as well as how much each partner contributed to the marriage among other things. Thankfully, Mr. Wilkinson can help you navigate the muddy waters of alimony and spousal support, and can help you receive the compensation you're due based on your individual lifestyle and circumstances.
