When Experience Matters

The Nashville divorce lawyers at Karla C. Hewitt and Associates, PLLC can assist clients where they are at in their divorce process, but we take particular pride in helping clients with very complex, or very contentious, divorce cases. That's because we're tenacious in seeking our clients' best interests and will take a case as far as it has to go to get the needed result, even to the Court of Appeals if we believe it can be won there.

High asset couples find that our attorneys are well qualified to assist with the division of marital assets from large estates that include real estate, executive pay packages with 401k plans, IRAs, pension plans, or stock options, or family-owned businesses that require business valuation.

Tennessee is a "non-community property" state. That means that there is marital property and separate property. In long-term marriages, it can be quite complicated separating those two categories. Contact our lawyers to learn more about the strategies we use to prove our client's interests and ownership in property.

Some people believe that Tennessee courts do not grant alimony. That is not the case. Either party can get an award of spousal support if the situation warrants it, and there are specific factors that the court must consider in determining whether an award of alimony is appropriate in any given case.

It's important to consider alimony and property division at the same time. These are both ways to transfer assets from one partner to the other but they have distinctly different tax consequences. The more assets your family has, the more significant this distinction will be.

Finally, we are very willing to work with troubled families in which there have been instances of domestic violence or abuse and we are zealous in protecting our clients.
