Helping You Get What You Need to Support Your Children
When parents split up, it is important for the well-being of the children that they continue to get financial support from both parents. Family law in Tennessee requires that parents provide child support until the child turns 18 or graduates from high school, whichever comes last.

Our Clarksville child support lawyers are dedicated to helping parents throughout Middle Tennessee and Western Kentucky. We can help you understand your rights and responsibilities and work to make sure that child support is calculated fairly and accurately.

How Is Child Support Calculated in Tennessee?
In Tennessee, the parent who has primary custody of the child(ren) is entitled to receive child support from the other parent. Child support is calculated based on the Tennessee Child Support Guidelines, which takes into account the number of children, the parents' incomes, the child's age, and other factors.
The parent with primary custody is the parent with whom the child spends the most time. If the child spends equal time with both parents, the parent with the higher income is considered the primary custodial parent.
The amount of child support can be adjusted based on other factors such as the cost of medical insurance, the cost of childcare, and more. The court has discretion to adjust the child support amount up or down to fit the circumstances of the case.

“Jeff Grimes is an absolute rockstar!”
Jeff Grimes is an absolute rockstar! I’ve had some not-so-great experiences with lawyers in the past, but when I found myself in trouble, Jeff was the first person I called. From the very first phone call, he was super open, honest, and set realistic expectations. I was already feeling good about hiring him, but at my arraignment, he did more for me than most lawyers do throughout the entire case. That’s when I knew I made the right decision. Edina (she was amazing and I’m so grateful for her honesty and calmness which helped with my nerves) and Jeff, along with everyone else I’ve worked with, have made me so happy I trusted them. For me it's not only about the resolution (I plead out) but the honesty and openness, so if you prefer that too then Jeff is your guy.- Derek F. -

“Best defense lawyer you could ask for.”
- Dennis H.Grimes is the best defense lawyer you could ask for. He was able to take what would generally be a felony for sure and get it down to a misdemeanor and a fine. If you have him as your lawyer, you won't have anything to worry about.
