Clarksville Divorce Lawyers You Can Count On

While every divorce case is unique, the process is similar. At The Kennedy Law Firm, PLLC, our compassionate, experienced divorce attorneys in Clarksville guide you through the process and explain what to expect at each step.

How our divorce attorneys in Clarksville help you

Whether you reside in Tennessee or Kentucky, we help you with the divorce process unique to your state.  We negotiate with your spouse and his or her attorney to resolve disputed issues in a civil manner.

While divorce settlements are often achieved outside the courtroom, there are instances where negotiations fail to achieve equitable resolutions.  In those cases, our divorce lawyers in Clarksville take the cases to trial to obtain a favorable judgment for our clients.

Frequently asked questions

I need to change provisions in my divorce decree. If my ex and I agree, would the changes be valid?

After your divorce, you may need to modify one or more of the stipulations in your divorce decree, such as child support arrangements.  But you must follow proper procedures if you want these modifications to be valid.  An experienced divorce lawyer in Clarksville can help with this process.

If my spouse and I cannot agree on the division of certain household items, will we have to litigate the division?

It often costs more in legal fees to fight over disputed items than to just buy new ones.  But your property settlement will not be complete until these items are distributed.  The judge will simply divide them in a manner neither of you like.

Can property acquired before marriage be divided upon divorce?

Assets owned by either spouse prior to the marriage will generally remain with that spouse after the marriage ends.  In some states, the court can define the start date of a marriage as being earlier than the actual date if it is equitable to do so.
