Complex Divorce Issues / Case Histories

Accomplished Tennessee Divorce Attorneys

Many issues involved in divorce disputes are emotionally charged, but are not particularly legally complex. Divorce disputes involving inherited property, family owned businesses, or significant premarital assets can be highly complex. At LawCare - Family Law Center, in Brentwood, Tennessee, we have extensive experience in helping people with the provisions in Tennessee divorce law related to complex divorce issues.

Effectively Managing Complex Divorce Matters

Our lawyers have the skill and experience necessary to understand our client's legal position and develop a strategy that allows us to work toward a sensible solution.

Our attorneys have handled issues relating to forensic accounting, and locating and valuing hidden assets. Some of the other issues that commonly complicate Tennessee divorces include:

  • Inherited property - Property inherited during the marriage may or may not be part of the marital estate, depending on a variety of complex legal matters.
  • Valuations of Family Owned Businesses - The value of a business can have a significant impact on a divorce settlement. Unfortunately, there are many ways to determine the value of a business in relation to how it affects a divorce settlement, alimony, and property division.
  • Qualified Investment Plans - 401k, IRA, and pension plans create complex issues in division when the parties are trying to weigh their current financial picture against the backdrop of future retirement.
  • Assessments of Premarital Assets - Many people have existing assets when they enter a marriage. These assets may or may not be part of the marital estate, depending on how they were treated before and during the marriage.
  • Disability Issues Involving a Child or Spouse - A disability or adverse health of a child or spouse can significantly impact a number of aspects of divorce settlement, including child support, alimony, and property division.
  • Disabled Children - You must include the costs of special needs children that go beyond the day-to-day needs. 
  • Substance Abuse - The abuse of illegal substances or prescription drugs can influence which spouse is granted the divorce. This has tremendous impact on almost every other aspect of the divorce settlement.

Firm founder Connie Reguli went into private practice in 1997 with a background of being a county prosecutor and an owner of a family business. This experience, added to her legal knowledge, gives her additional strength in handling your affairs.

We make a significant effort to resolve complex divorce matters through mediation. However, when litigation is necessary, we know how to frame divorce issues in a way that highlights our client's position.
