How People Prepare for Custody Disputes

Custody is a legal issue, but it is also one of the most emotional ones. The legal side is governed by logic and facts. The emotional side is governed by the heart:

As child custody attorneys, one of our most challenging jobs is preparation: the process of translating the qualitative, emotional side of parenthood into evidence-based facts. We do this through careful research, meticulous documentation and structured legal arguments. Then, we use our persuasive litigation and negotiation skills to show our clients as the responsible, caring parents that they are.

How Courts Decide Custody

Tennessee courts have broad power when deciding what to consider in child custody cases. The priority is securing the agreement that would be in the best interests of the child.

To that end, the court can use nearly any factor. Judges can look at anything that would be relevant, including but not limited to:

  • Past (and potential for future) performance of childcare duties
  • The quality of parent-child relationships, including determining who has been the primary caregiver
  • Emotional and developmental needs of the child
  • Fitness of each parent: moral, physical, mental and emotional
  • The child’s need for continuity
  • The child’s social and familial relationships, commitment and involvement
  • Reasonable preferences of children 12 or older
  • The behavior and character of every other member of (or frequent visitor to) the household
  • Employment schedules of each parent
  • Any evidence of physical or emotional abuse

Negotiating a Parenting Agreement

Negotiating a custody case generally means talking about each and every point the court would consider. We have several attorneys that are also Rule 31 Listed Family Law Mediators, a distinction recognized by the Tennessee Supreme Court. If mediation does not result in a fair agreement, we are more than prepared to take our custody cases to court.

Special Custody Cases

Every family is different, and some face more complex challenges than others. Our attorneys have a wide range of experience with some of the most complicated custody cases out there, such as:

  • Domestic violence and restraining orders
  • Parental relocation and visitation
  • Military custody
  • Paternity and unmarried parents
  • Child custody agreement violations and enforcement

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

S.H.

Our Family worked with Sam Holloway for over 3 years on our case on adopting our son. We would highly recommend him! He was responsive, knowledgeable, professional, and trustworthy. Our case was complicated but he knew what he was doing through each step of the way. We would use him again for an attorney if we ever need one again.

G.H.

Mike Fort was presented with a high conflict, high stakes and challenging case that was botched by the first attorney I worked with. His knowledge of the law, aptitude for understanding intelligent (yet dangerous individuals) and tenacity was remarkable! The outcome worked in my favor, yet could have easily not under different counsel. My life and the lives of my daughters are forever changed and better for his fight for justice. Truly.
