🚨 Served with divorce papers in Tennessee? The clock is already running.

You generally have 30 days after service to file a formal response. Ignoring the paperwork could allow your spouse to pursue a default judgment without your side being properly heard.

Do not wait until the deadline is approaching. An attorney needs time to review the allegations, protect your rights, and prepare the appropriate response.

If a vehicle is titled only in your name, do you automatically get to keep it in a Tennessee divorce?

Not necessarily.

One of the most common misconceptions in divorce cases is that title ownership determines who gets an asset. In many situations, vehicles acquired during the marriage may be considered marital property regardless of whose name appears on the title.

In this video, Tennessee family law attorney Jack Inman explains how courts generally view vehicles in divorce cases and why title ownership is only part of the story.

Can a child choose which parent they want to live with in Tennessee?

Many parents are surprised to learn that a child's preference is only one factor a court may consider in a custody case. Just because your child says they don't want to visit the other parent does not automatically change an existing parenting plan or court order.

In this video, Tennessee family law attorney Jack Inman explains what parents should do when a child refuses visitation and why it's important to follow court orders until they are legally modified.

Do Tennessee judges automatically order 50/50 custody?

One of the most common misconceptions in family law is that courts are required to award equal parenting time. While many Tennessee judges favor substantial involvement by both parents, there is no law requiring a 50/50 parenting plan in every case.

The court's primary concern is always the best interests of the child. Depending on the facts of your case, a judge may determine that a different parenting schedule is more appropriate.

In this video, Tennessee family law attorney Jack Inman explains how custody decisions are made and why 50/50 parenting time is not guaranteed.

Can you date while your divorce is pending?

Legally, yes.

Strategically, it may be one of the worst decisions you can make during a divorce.

Introducing a new romantic partner can increase conflict, complicate custody disputes, impact alimony arguments, and create additional stress for your children during an already difficult transition.

Every case is different, but before you start dating during a pending divorce, make sure you understand the potential consequences.

One thing I've learned from handling hundreds of family law cases is that difficult seasons don't last forever. Took a ride up into the mountains this weekend and was reminded how important it is to step back, clear your head, and keep moving forward.

Moving out of the marital home does NOT automatically mean you lose your claim to it.

This is one of the most common misconceptions I hear in divorce cases.

Know your rights before making a decision that affects your future.

A lot of parents ask:
“My child wants to stay with me… can they choose where they live?”

Under Tennessee law, the answer depends on:
• The child’s age
• What your parenting plan says
• The specific facts of your case

In this video, Tennessee family law attorney Jack Inman explains:
• Whether kids can refuse visitation
• How courts handle teenagers in custody disputes
• Why younger children usually do NOT get to choose
• When parents can get into trouble for withholding a child

Just because a child says they don’t want to go to the other parent’s house does NOT mean you can ignore the parenting plan.

If you’re dealing with a custody dispute or parenting plan issue in Tennessee, contact Christian Cities PLLC.

• How adultery impacts divorce cases in Tennessee
• Whether cheating affects alimony
• What judges actually consider in court
• The truth about fault-based divorce allegations
