Child Custody
Child custody is one of the most difficult and emotional legal situations a parent can experience. Parents strive to provide for their children’s best interests. Yet when two parents have different views of what’s best for a child, it creates a complex legal situation.
When you’re facing a child custody case, you need a child custody attorney with a long history of applying child custody laws to fight for the best outcome.
In the State of Tennessee, parents are required to first attempt to create a child custody agreement through mediation. Mediation is a crucial step of the child custody process.
When it isn’t successful, your custody agreement will be determined by a judge instead of the parents. Successful mediation is necessary to maintain control of a custody agreement.

Child Support
Child support is an essential part of any agreement between two parents who do not live together. However, child support can be highly contentious. Many factors influence how a child support payment is determined.
It’s common for life changes to alter the amount of child support one parent must pay to the other. Reasons to pursue child support modification include:
- Change in employment
- Change in income
- Remarriage or cohabitation
- Birth of additional children
- Altered responsibilities and circumstances
Kirk Catron helps clients navigate the child support modification process, and successfully build a strong case for why and how support payments should change.
When one parent refuses to adhere to a current child support agreement, Kirk Catron can initiate legal action against the parent in contempt of an established parenting plan.
