The Legal end of Relationship: Divorce It is essential to note that the end of a relationship is divorce; the experience is emotional and challenging. There are three kinds of divorce in Tennessee: Uncontested, Contested, and By Default. If a husband and wife can reach agreement about the division of assets/debts and the parenting plan (if applicable), the divorce will be considered uncontested and granted on grounds of irreconcilable difference. In contested divorces, the parties cannot agree on these or any other matters: they must allege that the other party has marital misconduct like inappropriate marital behavior, adultery, or abandonment. In default cases, when the spouse fails to attend the divorce proceedings or their whereabouts are unknown, the other spouse may proceed with the divorce. Tennessee Family and Kids Law Concerning Children Tennessee law requires parents to submit a permanent parenting plan when they become legally separated or divorced. The laws that govern child custody are now gender-neutral, and the primary focus of child custody decisions is what is in the children's best interests. The child has the right to express a preference for where they would like to reside, but it is not binding until they are 18 years old and no longer considered a minor. Alimony/Maintenance/Spousal Maintenance The law establishes alimony and is also known as maintenance or spousal support as an obligation because during the marriage, spouses are considered to be responsible for one another and even after the marriage ends. After the divorce proceedings have started, any party can request the court to order the other party to provide financial support. The amounts and conditions of alimony vary significantly depending on the facts of each party, including the parties' current and potential earnings, the duration of the marriage, the inheritance, the value of the marital estate, the earning capacity, age, health, and other factors. The support may continue or even not continue if one party does not have enough funds at the time the divorce is finalized. Even if the divorcing parties do not reach an agreement in a signed, written document, the court may still establish the alimony obligation. The court can modify this order at any point if the circumstances of one or both parties change.
