Steps of Divorce in Tennessee

The first part of any divorce will involve the decision to get divorced. Sometimes both parties reach the decision mutually and decide to file for divorce together. Other times, one person decides it’s time to get divorced, and files for divorce on their own. How you choose to file for divorce can shape the course of your divorce. In most cases, filing for divorce together with the agreement of your spouse and the assistance of your divorce lawyers in Green Hill, Tennessee can result in the fastest divorce settlement, but every couple’s situation is unique. Let’s explore the steps that go into a divorce in Green Hill, Tennessee:

• You Prepare and File Divorce Paperwork. The divorce paperwork will include details about how you plan or propose to split assets and debts, and if you have minor children, your divorce paperwork will include a parenting plan, or a temporary custody order. If you are filing for divorce without your spouse’s assistance in drafting divorce paperwork, you’ll need to propose how to divide assets and debts. Your divorce lawyer in Green Hill, Tennessee can help you understand your rights so that you can ask for what you are entitled to receive. If you don’t ask for it in your divorce paperwork, you won’t get it, so it’s important to work with your divorce attorney in Green Hill, Tennessee at Widrig Law, PLLC to help you thoroughly fill out divorce paperwork. The same is true for a proposed child custody plan. It’s important to be thorough and to ask for everything you want, especially if you’re not filing with your spouse. Sometimes a couple decides to file for divorce together and they want to file for uncontested divorce. In this case, it’s important that you both speak to your divorce lawyers first, to understand your rights and what you might be entitled to receive and that you have your Green Hill, Tennessee divorce attorneys review the paperwork before you file. Once a divorce has been finalized, it can be impossible to change the financial agreement, and it can be very difficult to modify a parenting plan. Let Widrig Law, PLLC help you get this right the first time around.
• You file for divorce and serve your spouse the divorce papers, and then wait the waiting period. Or, if you file for uncontested divorce, you wait the waiting period. The waiting period in Tennessee will depend on whether you have minor children or not. If you don’t have minor children, the waiting period is 60 days, and if you have minor children, the waiting period is 90 days. Your divorce lawyer in Green Hill, Tennessee can help you properly serve your partner the divorce papers. If you have just received divorce paperwork from your partner through service, you may only have a limited time to respond. Failing to respond can result in you accepting all your spouse’s demands. For some people, receiving divorce papers is the first shocking and unexpected step in their divorce journey. If this is your experience, you want to reach out to a Green Hill, Tennessee divorce lawyer at Widrig Law, PLLC as soon as possible.
• You attend your divorce hearing. If you were able to agree to all aspects of your divorce before the waiting period is over, you can attend the hearing and have your divorce finalized. Congrats. It’s over.
• You schedule a trial. If you and your spouse cannot agree about all aspects of your divorce, you’ll either need to schedule a trial or go into mediation. Trials can take quite a while to schedule—months to over a year. If you can, it can be beneficial to reach a divorce settlement with your spouse without a trial. Your divorce lawyer in Green Hill, Tennessee at Widrig Law, PLLC can offer guidance on what options are available in your situation. Every situation is unique and sometimes a trial will be needed.

Every case is unique, but this is how the divorce process in Tennessee unfolds for most couples. There are many complicated steps that must be completed, and it’s important to get your divorce settlement right.
