Attorneys Chris Pittman and Nathan Hunt handle a variety of family law concerns:
- Divorce and division of property — Strong representation and creative solutions for splitting the marital assets and determining alimony.
- Custody and visitation — Working out parenting arrangements and resolving post-divorce issues involving custody or child support.
- Paternity — We represent mothers seeking child support, men disputing paternity or fathers asserting their rights to be part of the child's life. We can arrange DNA testing and represent clients in all petitions and hearings.
- Prenuptial agreements — We draft, review or litigate these complex premarital contracts. If you bring substantial assets to a marriage, a prenuptial agreement may be an option for you. If you are getting remarried, a prenup protects inheritance for children from your first marriage.
- Stepparent adoption — We help clients formally adopt a stepchild, including proceedings to terminate the parental rights of the biological parent(s).
The Role of Mediation and Litigation in Family Law
Divorce and custody litigation tends to be drawn-out, expensive and divisive. Since 2005, the State of Tennessee has required mediation in divorce and custody disputes before a trial date can be set. Mr. Pittman has handled many family law mediations.
Even when mediation does not produce an out-of-court agreement, it almost always simplifies matters. If you disagree on 10 issues and resolve eight of them, litigation will be more focused and less costly. Mediation also gives you a say in the outcome, versus all the power resting with the Court.

If negotiations are at an impasse, Mr. Pittman is an accomplished trial lawyer who can be aggressive when necessary to get results. He will vigorously assert your interests in court, while striving to get you through this difficult period with the least time, heartache and money.
