📢 What to Do If an Agreement Can't Be Reached

If an agreement cannot be reached, there are a few options. It’s preferable to maintain Status Quo, where the children’s lives are disrupted as little as possible until the divorce is final. Judges want to see that the children have continuity unless a drastic change is necessary to safeguard their emotional or physical well-being. In the instance that one parent vacates the residence without a court order regarding custody, this can cloud custody issues down the road. Judges may rule that the child is best cared for with the consistency of one parent, rather than jointly.

Additionally, the parent that left might have a hard time convincing a court that the parent they left the child with is unfit. Alternatively, clients may file for a temporary custody order to go ahead and resolve custody issues on a temporary basis while they wait for their divorce to be finalized. In this event, the judge’s custody and parenting order will be enforced until the divorce is finalized and a permanent arrangement has been made.

💡 How Does Divorce Impact Social Security Benefits?

Divorce can raise many financial questions, including how Social Security benefits are considered in a divorce action. The answer? It depends.

📌 In Tennessee, Social Security disability recoveries received during the marriage can be considered marital property and divided by the court. However, future Social Security benefits cannot be assigned to a spouse in a divorce settlement.

Understanding how the law treats Social Security benefits is essential when navigating divorce, especially for those approaching retirement age or dealing with disability benefits.

📢 Preparing for Co-Parenting Conversations

To best prepare for this conversation, you’ll both need to consider schedules, location, school commitments, and the physical and emotional needs of the child. After the agreement, parents will formulate the custody plan, and it can be started before the divorce is final.

These agreements have evolved toward what is in the best interest of the child. You can arrange for a primary residence with parental time or residential time at the other parent’s home, or something that grants equal time to both households—whichever works best for your child.

03/24/2025

📢 Navigating Co-Parenting Agreements

Regardless of the specifics, you and your spouse will come to an agreement on how you will co-parent. The first step is to develop a physical and legal custody agreement. This agreement will detail physical custody, visitation schedules, health insurance, college, and potentially, child support. You’ll also elect which parent makes decisions for the child regarding healthcare, education, and religion.

In both instances, parents may want to share these responsibilities equally. Parents can maintain the most control over their situation without court intervention if a satisfactory agreement is reached between them.

At Gill Family Law, we understand that child custody is one of the most emotional aspects of divorce or separation. Tennessee courts prioritize the best interests of the child when determining custody arrangements, but what does that really mean for parents?

🔹 Legal Custody – This refers to decision-making authority over major aspects of a child’s life, including education, medical care, and religious upbringing. Courts often award joint legal custody so both parents have a say, but in some cases, one parent may receive sole legal custody.

🔹 Physical Custody – This determines where the child primarily lives and how parenting time is divided. One parent may have primary custody while the other has scheduled visitation, or parents may share custody more evenly depending on the circumstances.

🔹 How Courts Decide – Tennessee courts evaluate multiple factors, such as each parent’s ability to provide a stable home, the child’s bond with each parent, work schedules, and any history of domestic violence or substance abuse. Judges aim to create a parenting plan that supports the child’s emotional, physical, and educational needs.

Custody cases can be complex, and no two families are the same. At Gill Family Law, we help parents navigate this process with compassion and clarity, working toward parenting arrangements that keep kids at the center while protecting your rights.

Divorcing a narcissist can feel like an uphill battle—filled with manipulation, gaslighting, and relentless conflict. But with the right strategies, you can protect yourself and navigate the process with confidence.

🔹 Set Clear Boundaries – Narcissists thrive on control. Establish firm boundaries in communication and decision-making to limit their influence over you.
🔹 Keep Detailed Records – Document everything. Save texts, emails, and interactions that may be relevant to custody, financial disputes, or court proceedings.
🔹 Stay Focused on Facts, Not Emotions – Narcissists often use emotional manipulation to provoke a reaction. Staying calm and focusing on facts will prevent them from using your emotions against you.
🔹 Have a Strong Legal Team – A knowledgeable attorney experienced in high-conflict divorces is crucial. They can anticipate tactics, advocate for your best interests, and ensure legal protections are in place.

At Gill Family Law, we understand the unique challenges of divorcing a narcissist and will stand by your side every step of the way. If you're facing a high-conflict divorce, we’re here to help.

For business owners, divorce isn’t just a personal matter—it can have serious financial and operational consequences. Without proper planning, your business could be classified as a marital asset and subject to division, potentially impacting its stability and future.

🔹 Protecting Your Business Assets: Tools like Domestic Asset Protection Trusts can safeguard business interests by legally separating them from personal assets. This can help ensure that your business remains intact, even in the event of a divorce.

🔹 Understanding Business Valuation: If your business is considered part of the marital estate, it will likely need to be valued. A fair and accurate valuation is crucial for settlement negotiations and determining whether a buyout or other financial arrangement is necessary.

🔹 Planning Ahead is Key: Business owners can take proactive steps such as prenuptial or postnuptial agreements to clarify how business assets would be handled in the event of divorce. These agreements can help prevent lengthy disputes and provide financial security for both parties.

At Gill Family Law, we understand the unique challenges business owners face during divorce. Our team is here to help you navigate the process strategically—protecting your business, your assets, and your future.
