Do you disagree with the result of your divorce? Have you lost custody as the result of a judge's decision? Were your marital assets unfairly divided?

Appealing Unfair Decisions

When the issue of fairness is in question, often it is because property or parenting time was not equitably divided. Examples may include a situation in which one person ended up with too many debts or too many assets, a parent believes he or she should have received primary custody or even the amount of alimony was too much or not enough.

At Middle Tennessee Law, we will take the time to listen to your concerns and your goals. We will review the judge's orders and the circumstances surrounding the case. Furthermore, we will be your advocates inside and outside the courtroom.

Material Change in Circumstances Appeals

As children grow, their needs change. Often, these changes require an original divorce or custody order to be revisited and modified. To change the original order, there must be a material change in circumstances in a child's life. Though there is no set definition as to what a material change is, some examples can include:

A child growing into a teenager
Changing schools
Relocating
A parent neglecting or abusing the child

When your current parenting plan/custody order just does not work anymore of if you disagree with a judge's ruling, Middle Tennessee Law can work with you to try to modify the plan at the trial level or appeal the judge's decision at the appellate court level. By speaking with one of our experienced family law and appeals attorneys, you can discover if your changes in circumstances meet the criteria for filing an appeal. From start to finish, we will provide personal service and assertive legal representation at each step of your case.
