Divorce
Visitation is the legal term for the right of a non-custodial parent to visit with their children. Typically, the non-custodial spouse has legal visitation rights to child visitation or parenting time unless the family court finds that visitation is not in the best interest of the child. Tennessee statutes offer courts discretion in their approach to visitation and child visitation rights; although, it generally consists of alternating weekends and some holidays. The amount of time and visitation schedule is stated in the final divorce agreement and may be modified by further court order.

Tennessee statutes offer courts discretion in their approach to visitation and child visitation rights; although, it generally consists of alternating weekends and some holidays. The amount of time and visitation schedule is stated in the final divorce agreement and may be modified by further court order.
Child Support
Child support payment is a court-ordered amount that the non-custodial parent must pay to the custodial parent to cover a proportionate amount of the child’s expenses, including housing and utilities, food, clothing, education expenses, and other costs. Both parents have an obligation to support their children, both before and after a divorce. Tennessee statutes set out guidelines as to how courts calculate child support payment, and child support orders may be modified only by another court order. Roland Mumford, as a child support lawyer, will be able to answer any child support payment questions including the strict adherence to child support guidelines.
Child Custody and Visitation
Child custody refers to custodial awards or determinations involving a minor child. These determinations involve who has the right to make decisions about the child, or legal custody, including decisions about education, religion, medical issues, and discipline, as well as where the child will live, or physical custody. With “sole custody”, you alone have legal and physical custody of your child. In a “joint custody” arrangement, you and your ex-spouse share legal and/or physical child custody. If you and your spouse cannot agree on a child custody arrangement, a court will likely make a child custody decision based on the “best interests of your child.”
Paternity
Paternity is the legal acknowledgment of a parental relationship between a father and his child. A child born to a wife during a marriage is legally presumed to be the husband’s child, but this presumption can be rebutted with evidence to the contrary. A determination of paternity for putative fathers can be established through a voluntary acknowledgment of paternity, a court petition, or estoppel over time. Scientific evidence, such as blood and DNA tests, is used to establish or deny parentage of a child in paternity suits. Once paternity is established, a child is entitled to the legal rights of a child born within a marriage, including support from both parents, medical and life insurance coverage, and inheritance protection.
Guardianship
Guardianship or conservatorship is a legal relationship between a competent adult or “guardian” and a person who is no longer able to make his own responsible decisions or “ward.” such as the legal guardianship of a minor child. The legal guardianship is appointed by a court and can be authorized to make legal, financial, and health care decisions for the ward. The guardian must regularly report to the court and may be removed if he or she does not adequately take care of the ward and adhere to the guardianship law, and conservatorship law regulations.
Spousal Support

Child Abuse
Domestic violence law and the term “domestic violence” usually refers to crimes involving domestic abuse, such as child abuse and child neglect, spousal abuse or domestic-partner abuse, and elder abuse. Domestic abuse isn’t just physical; it also covers the threats, emotional abuse, harassment, and stalking that a spouse, partner, or date uses to control someone else’s behavior. The abuse can be directed against anyone: children, former partners, roommates, and parents, but it is most typically directed against women. Domestic violence is a crime in all 50 states. However, in addition to cooperating with the prosecution of criminal charges, the victim of domestic violence can file civil charges.

Criminal Defense
Criminal Law is the name given to the branch of law that governs an individual’s relationship to the state. It includes the definitions of criminal offenses, which are usually established by Congress or state legislatures. The term “criminal law” also encompasses the rights of an accused and the criminal process, including arrest, arraignment, grand juries, pleas, discovery, pretrial hearings, trials, jury selection, evidence, motions, and posttrial remedies. The main purpose of the criminal law is to set forth the punishment for criminal offenses. In order to prove any crime, no matter how serious, the prosecutor must prove that the accused committed a guilty act with a guilty mind beyond a reasonable doubt.
