Experienced Child Support Attorneys in Jackson, TN
At
Casey, Simmons & Bryant, PLLC, our Jackson child support attorneys represent a wide range of cases,
including child support disputes. The goal of Tennessee judges and family
courts is to ensure children do not suffer as a result of divorce. They
prioritize the well-being of the child when making decisions during the
proceeding.
There are significant changes your children will have to go through during a divorce, but this does not mean their lifestyle needs to change entirely. By establishing a child support agreement, we can help see that your children do not experience a diminished quality of life due to lack of financial support.

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 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 which 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 TN
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 Clarksville and Jackson from our team who can assist you.
Child Support Modification in Tennessee
Both parents can submit a request for child support modification at any time. However, the parent seeking the modification must prove that there is a significant variance between the existing support figure and the proposed figure.
If there’s been a complete review of the case within two years of the request, the parent seeking the review is required to prove that there has been a major change in circumstances. Examples of relevant changes include:
- either parent has become legally and financially responsible for an additional child
- either parent has a significant increase or decrease in income
- a child supported by the order has become disabled
