Divorce And Related Issues

Our Clarksville divorce lawyers and child support attorneys help all couples and same-sex couples in all types of issues related to divorce, legal separation and other family law matters. We can help you create a parenting plan that will work for you and your ex, while protecting the best interests of your children. We also help clients through the complex legal landscape of adoptions. We represent military service members and officers in nearby Fort Campbell, throughout the country and overseas in divorce matters involving members of the armed forces.

Restraining Orders And Orders Of Protection

Domestic violence is one of the most complex and emotionally charged aspects of family law. Attorneys from our firm take a focused but compassionate approach to representing clients in matters involving orders of protection and restraining orders.

Parental Relocation

We also represent clients in legal issues that arise after divorces are finalized. It is common for one parent to want to move away after a divorce. When a divorced parent wants to move away, with or without the child, the court may need to approve the relocation to make sure it is in the best interests of the child.

What Our Clients Say

Divorce/Custody

Jacob Mathis handled a divorce/child custody case for a family member approximately two years ago. He was always professional, responsive, and compassionate. One of the divorcing parties was especially difficult and Mr. Mathis was very helpful in dealing with this individual. Our outcome was favorable, and we would definitely use Mr. Mathis again!

Assisting Clients With Criminal Contempt Issues

Criminal contempt is the willful failure to abide by a court order when one has the ability to do so. A few examples of orders that would warrant a filing for contempt either during or after a divorce are parenting plans, child support payments, alimony or retirement obligations, conveyances of real property or return of person property. Our Clarksville criminal contempt defense attorney services want to help provide these solutions for you.  There are two types of contempt that can be sought in a Petition for Contempt.

Civil contempt is when the Petitioner is requesting the Court order the other parent or former spouse to comply with the previous order of the court. Punishments for a finding of civil contempt are usually conditional and can be delayed or avoided by compliance with the court order. Fines and attorney fees can be ordered in an attempt to pressure the violator or reimburse the injured party.

Clarksville Criminal contempt is used to punish the party violating the court order. The punishment is usually limited to 10 days in jail per violation. The Court may order immediate imprisonment when a guilty verdict is rendered or issue a stay of the sentence and set a later review. A stay allows the violator an opportunity to comply with the Court's order and avoid serving jail time. There is no statutory basis for awarding attorney fees to the injured party when criminal contempt is found.
