Is a disagreement over alimony delaying your Tennessee divorce?

Is this dispute threatening to turn your uncontested divorce into a contested one, potentially putting a decision in the hands of a family court judge?

Is a sudden circumstance such as job loss or a serious health problem causing you to pay too much spousal support? Or are you receiving too little alimony?

Is a spousal support obligation going unfulfilled, and causing you to consider a court's enforcement of that responsibility?

Andy Brunelle have more than 20 years of combined experience in reaching workable solutions to spousal support issues.

Paying Too Much Alimony? Receiving Too Little? Dotson & Brunelle Can Help.

Tennessee has four kinds of alimony for you to consider, including:

  • Alimony "in futuro," or traditional (permanent) alimony — payments that continue each month until death or remarriage
  • Rehabilitative alimony, with a spouse receiving payments until he or she can become self- sufficient
  • Transitional alimony, while a spouse makes the transition from married to single life
  • Alimony "in solido" — spousal support intended for equitable property division

Spousal support in our state is based on factors such as: the needs of the recipient, the income-based ability of the former spouse who pays it, length of the marriage and any "fault" cited in the grounds for divorce. Our Dotson & Brunelle lawyers will arm you with every fact, detail and option you need to be aware of, that can result in sound decisions.

For solid support and comforting counsel in any family law matter, including alimony, contact us for a free consultation. We welcome the opportunity to serve you in any way we can.
