In the past, if the father worked and the mother stayed at home with the kids, the mother would often become the primary caregiver after a divorce. However, new changes to Tennessee law have given fathers the ability to be more involved in the lives of their children.
At the Law Offices of R. Timothy Hogan, we are dedicated to protecting the rights of fathers in Middle Tennessee. We offer personal service and attention to your needs and goals as a father and can help you pursue a lasting relationship with your child after a divorce or separate child custody action.

New Opportunities for Fathers in Tennessee
Under the new law in Tennessee, the courts look to the best interests of the child in order to establish a custody arrangement that permits both parents to enjoy the maximum participation possible in their child’s life. When determining visitation schedules and residential time, the court will also look at a number of factors such as the location of each parent’s residence, the child’s need for stability and all other relevant factors.
