Uncontested means both parties agree on all issues – faster and cheaper. Contested means disagreements exist, requiring negotiation, mediation, or trial.
Uncontested: 30–90 days (after 60-day waiting period). Contested: 6 months to 2+ years.
At least one spouse must have been a Tennessee resident for 6 months before filing.
Tennessee follows equitable distribution – marital property is divided fairly, not necessarily 50/50.
Marital property (acquired during marriage) is divided. Separate property (pre-marriage, inheritances, gifts) is generally not divided.
Based on the best interest of the child – including stability, emotional ties, parental fitness, and the child's preference (if mature).
Using the Tennessee Child Support Guidelines (income shares model) – based on both parents' income, number of children, parenting time, and expenses.
Rehabilitative, transitional, alimony in futuro (long-term), and alimony solido (lump sum).
