Divorce and Family Law
Divorce is a time of intense stress and anxiety, and the decisions you make will affect your life, and perhaps your family’s life, for many years to come. It is important that you have an attorney with the knowledge, skills, resources, and ability to efficiently and effectively represent you and your interests, in and out of court.
At the Law Office of Brennan Lenihan, Attorney at Law & Mediator, we understand how difficult and stressful divorce and family law can be, and we have the experience and legal expertise to help guide you through this difficult time. We take a personal approach to each of our client’s unique needs, and put our years of experience, skill in negotiation, and training in mediation to use in all aspects of family law. We believe that effective and efficient service also means supporting our clients outside of the courtroom. We can help you negotiate a divorce settlement, but we are always prepared go to trial if you and your spouse cannot reach an agreement.
We successfully represent husbands and wives, mothers and fathers, grandparents and juveniles in all counties in East Tennessee, including Knox, Anderson, Roane, Loudon, Morgan, Blount, Sevier, Campbell, Union, Scott and beyond.
In Tennessee, there are basically two types of divorces:
Contested divorce: Spouses are unable to agree on all or part of the issues surrounding the dissolution of the marriage and need the Court to address those issues. Whether there is a dispute about the division of debts or assets, alimony or support, or the custody or visitation of children, we have the expertise to successfully take your case to trial.
Uncontested divorce: Spouses are able to agree upon all of the issues surrounding the dissolution of their marriage, and who are committed to seeking an out-of-court resolution. We can efficiently negotiate the terms of the agreement and prepare the necessary documents in order to reach a quick resolution for you and your family.
