Family Law Services in Johnson City, Jonesborough, Erwin, TN and All of East Tennessee

We focus exclusively on family law—allowing us to offer comprehensive and detailed support across every area of domestic legal practice. Each case is different, but our mission is always the same: to help you find long-term solutions through thoughtful legal strategies tailored to your needs.

Whether you're ending your marriage through a peaceful, uncontested process or facing a contested courtroom dispute, we’re here to protect your rights and help you pursue a fair outcome. We also offer collaborative divorce services for couples who want to avoid litigation and work toward a resolution together.

Determining where your child lives and who makes decisions on their behalf can be the most emotional part of any separation. We help parents build parenting plans that reflect the best interests of the child and protect parental rights, whether through agreement or litigation.

Tennessee law mandates that both parents contribute financially to their child’s well-being. We assist clients with establishing, modifying, and enforcing child support orders that align with state guidelines and reflect current financial circumstances.

In some divorces, one spouse may be entitled to financial support. We evaluate the facts of each case to determine whether alimony is appropriate, and if so, how much and for how long. Our goal is to reach outcomes that are fair, practical, and legally sound.

Dividing property in a divorce isn’t just about who gets what—it’s about ensuring a just and equitable distribution under Tennessee law. We help you identify marital and separate property, value assets, and resolve disputes involving real estate, investments, debt, and more.

Adding a child to your family is a joyful and life-changing experience, but the legal steps can be complex. Whether you’re pursuing a private adoption, stepparent adoption, or guardianship transfer, we guide you through the process with sensitivity and precision.

Establishing paternity can be critical for securing custody rights, enforcing child support, or gaining legal recognition as a parent. We help both mothers and fathers understand their legal standing and take action through court-approved procedures.

We draft and review agreements that protect your property, business interests, and financial future. These documents can bring peace of mind before marriage or provide structure during the marriage, especially for blended families or those with significant assets.
