Divorce, Separation and Your Children
For parents with minor children, the first and primary concern upon divorce is the well-being of the children and the ability to still have quality time with them. If you are separating from your spouse or partner, a smooth and rapid divorce or legal separation process can allay the anxiety and possibility that children will be damaged by a lengthy period of confusion and hostility. An experienced family law attorney can work to ensure that your custody and visitation goals will further the best interests of your children.
Lisa Millican Ewing of the Ewing Law Office, LLC has advocated for Nashville area residents and their children during divorce and separation proceedings. Ms. Ewing served as a court-appointed special advocate for over four years, promoting the rights and best interests of children in court. We understand your concerns regarding child custody, child support and visitation rights and we know how to help. Contact us today for your free initial consultation.
Family courts' number one goal is to serve children's best interests. To pursue your rights and interests, you must demonstrate that they are aligned with your child's. We can assess your situation and assemble your case to show that your stated custody, support and visitation goals will serve your child’s needs better than other options. We can also work to demonstrate that your proposal to relocate to another jurisdiction or to modify support payments will materially benefit your child.
The Effects of Domestic Violence on Your Children
Children are strongly and negatively affected by domestic violence, even when the violence is limited to parents and other adults. Ewing Law Office provides experienced, aggressive and nonjudgmental domestic violence legal services, regardless of whether you have been accused of violence or you are a victim.
Once police are called to the scene of a domestic dispute, they are required to arrest the "first aggressor" in any domestic violence situation and they have the discretion to make an on-the-spot determination of who the first aggressor was. Unfortunately, the correct determination is not always made. Contact us if you have domestic violence questions — we have represented both men and women in a broad range of circumstances, including male victims of violence.
