Determining Child Support in Tennessee
Certain state guidelines allow a judge to calculate and assign the amount of support one parent must pay another, typically to the parent with primary child custody.
As child support lawyers in Clarksville, TN, we represent you and your child's best interests to ensure a fair outcome is reached. We can help you understand the types of factors that will be considered and what type of payments you may be able to expect.
A few factors used to determine the amount of child support include:
- Cost of daily/regular expenses
- Health insurance costs
- Other child support obligations
- Parent's income/current job
- Ability to pay child support
- Education level
Child Support Order Enforcement in Tennessee
Child support is a serious matter - it directly affects the well-being of your child. If your ex-spouse was required to pay child support and fails to stick to the terms of the order, you may need to take enforcement actions.
Withholding child support payments is illegal, but you cannot take other illegal actions to try to force the other parent to pay. Instead, take action by speaking with a caring family law attorney in Jackson from our team who can assist you.
Enforcing child support orders involves:
- Filing a motion for contempt: If the noncustodial parent fails to make child support payments as ordered by the court, we can file a motion for contempt to hold them accountable for their actions.
- Wage garnishment: In cases where the noncustodial parent consistently fails to make payments, we can work with the court to garnish their wages, ensuring that child support payments are automatically deducted from their paycheck.
- Asset seizure: If the noncustodial parent has significant assets, we can explore the option of seizing their assets to satisfy unpaid child support obligations.
- License suspension: In some cases, we can request the suspension of the noncustodial parent's driver's license, professional license, or other licenses until they fulfill their child support obligations.

"Don’t wait any longer if you need someone great, Mr. Bryant will definitely get the job done!"First and foremost I want to start by saying how incredible Mr. Daniel Bryant has been for my family, especially my husband Caius.

We’re more than thankful for all the hard work he has done and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an amazing attorney!!!

"I am extremely confident that the truth will continue to prevail with Mr. Casey on our side arguing for it."Simply outstanding! Not only is my particular case extremely complex and emotionally taxing for both myself, AND everyone involved (including counsel), but Mr. Casey had literally HOURS to prepare for a crucial motion to be heard, as I hired him at 4 pm for a 9 am court date. This proved to be the best decision we could have ever made! His exemplary presentation of the truth, combined with his calm yet laser-focused attention to what was being presented from the other side was not only impressive but was also what resulted in me being able to spend very precious and valuable time with my daughter. While this case is not yet over, I am extremely confident that the truth will continue to prevail with Mr. Casey on our side arguing for it. Thank you, Mr. Casey!- Daniel M.

"Mr. Daniel Bryant was absolutely one of the best lawyers I had..."On my first time to deal with hiring a lawyer from overseas, I was scared and a little skeptical. Mr. Daniel Bryant was absolutely one of the best lawyers I had to deal with. Very professional, patient, clear on explaining things, quick on answering back beside the time difference, easy to work with, human and humble. I would highly reccomend him and definetely hire him again if needed, it is difficilt to find reliable lawyers.- Micol

"Please choose wisely and call Mr. Casey today!!!"My ex-wife got our Arkansas visitation changed from Arkansas to Tennessee. She was asking to reduce my visitation days and requesting an absurdly increased amount in child support. I contacted George Michael Casey for consultation. He was very professional, extremely knowledgeable of the law and his customer service is impeccable. Mr. Casey always returns calls and responds to emails promptly. His review of how the case would probably turn out was perfect. I actually got more visitation days and the increase in child support was minimal. If you do not utilize Mr. Casey's expert professional services then you are choosing the wrong attorney. Please choose wisely and call Mr. Casey today!!!- William C.

Kortney's professionalism felt personal as if I were more than just a paying client. And because of that, I was able to relax through the process, Kortney Simmons is the best!- Former Client
