Hear What Our Clients Have to Say

I only wish I had found them sooner. They were professional, hard-working, and diligent. I can’t thank them enough.

- Stacy B.

After reading a ton of reviews on different law firms, I came to the conclusion that the Rice firm would be the best. Jessica and her paralegal, Tyler, are simply amazing, easy to work with, and she has a true passion for her career. Would definitely recommend Jessica and the Rice firm to anyone who asks. Not everything went the exact way I wanted it to, but I’m more than satisfied with the way she handled my case and the outcome she was able to get for me!

Tennessee Divorce Checklist
Meet the Residency Requirements
One spouse must have lived in Tennessee for at least six months prior to filing for divorce.
Choose Divorce Grounds
In Tennessee, you can file a fault-based or a no-fault divorce. This decision will have a significant impact on how your divorce proceeds.
Gather Your Financial Records
Keep a record of your income, bank accounts, tax returns, and other important financial documents.
List Assets and Debts
Your lawyer can help identify what assets and debts are considered marital property and what is separate property.
Consider Your Children
Try to work with your spouse to prepare a parenting plan that works best for everybody.
Explore Potential Settlement Options
Not every divorce has to go to trial. For some spouses, mediated divorce is a far better alternative.
File Properly and Stay Organized
Submit the divorce petition in the correct county court to get the ball rolling. From there, keep copies of everything and track deadlines.
