Family Law

Family law in TN is constantly evolving. Last year, for example, the TN Legislature nearly passed a bill that would have created a presumption in new divorces that a child’s best interests would be served by spending equal amounts of time with both the mother and the father.

The Lawyers of Patton & Hyder keep up with these ever-changing laws and can guide you through such emotionally-charged matters as divorces, child custody modifications and adoptions.

Do not make the mistake of thinking you can “do-it-yourself” when it comes to a family law case. You would not dream of being your own surgeon or even trusting your medical care to an inexperienced doctor! Don’t trust your family legal matters to anyone except an experienced, knowledgeable Attorney who is familiar with the legal system in your community. You can trust Patton & Hyder to handle your legal affairs with experience and integrity.
