Franklin Visitation Attorneys
Child custody and visitation decisions are often the most difficult decisions to be made during a divorce or paternity case, but an experienced Tennessee family law attorney can make a big difference in helping parents find creative solutions that work for their children.
At the law office of Karla C. Hewitt and Associates, PLLC, our attorneys have achieved excellent results for both mothers and fathers over the course of more than a decade. If you're seeking a lawyer who will give you straight answers, is a skilled negotiator, and delivers aggressive representation in the courtroom, you can be confident with us on your side.
The Best Interest of the Child
In negotiating your initial child custody agreement, the most important consideration — and what we must prove — is what is in the child's best interest. Both parents will bring unique assets to the table, and Tennessee child custody judges have become much more flexible about who can be awarded primary residential parent status, and how evenly time is distributed. Shared parenting is increasingly possible.
Of course, negotiating is not always an effective method. Sometimes, these disputes are so intense that working through them is simply not possible. The courts require mediation, but even that is not always effective. When trial becomes necessary, we are ready. We have built our reputation as trial lawyers by taking challenging cases to court and succeeding.
Agreements Are Not Set in Stone
After child custody and visitation arrangements have been made, it is difficult, but not impossible to change them, as long as there has been a substantial and material change in circumstances. Post-divorce modification is commonly required because of remarriage, the birth of a new child, job loss or relocation. We can help with these modifications, as well as with enforcement actions.
