Child Custody in Knoxville, Tennessee

Child custody is often complex. Parents may have very different ideas of a positive outcome. It is the job of a Tennessee court to objectively consider many factors while always prioritizing the well-being of the child or children involved.

Factors affecting child custody determinations include:

• If they are over the age of 12, where do they want to live?
• The physical and mental health and well-being of each parent
• The willingness of both parents to cooperate with one another and the court
• Each parent’s ability to offer a safe and suitable living environment
• The impact of these changes on the child’s life and well-being
• Each parent’s current schedule and employment situation

Orders of Protection in Knoxville, Tennessee

An order of protection can be issued when stalkers, domestic partners, or spouses engage in threats, harassment, or domestic violence. Sometimes, orders of protection become part of divorce proceedings. In other circumstances, orders of protection are weaponized to spite or punish the other spouse. Whether you need to obtain or defend against an order of protection, Mandy Hancock Law can help. 

Postnuptial and Prenuptial Agreements in Knoxville, Tennessee

A prenuptial agreement can help protect your assets, define financial obligations, and prevent lengthy divorce proceedings. If you need a prenuptial agreement or have a prenuptial agreement and are separating, Mandy Hancock Law can help.

Postnuptial agreements are drawn up after spouses enter into marriage and are less common. When drafted effectively by a skilled family law attorney, they are useful contracts that can help with matters like income, assets, and responsibilities to minor children.
