Testimonials
Arabic alimony lawyer reviews in Nashville
Read what Arab American families in Nashville say about our Arabic-speaking alimony attorneys.
“My divorce in Tennessee was complicated because we married in Iraq. My lawyer explained the 6-month residency requirement and the 90-day waiting period since we have children. She fought for my mahr to be enforced and got me a fair parenting plan. She understood Kurdish culture and spoke Arabic through the whole process.”
Fatima A.
Nashville, Tennessee
2025
“My divorce required the 6-month Tennessee residency and 90-day waiting period with kids. My lawyer used that time to build a strong custody case. She got my mahr enforced as a contract and I won primary custody. She understood Syrian families and spoke Arabic through every hearing in Davidson County.”
Alia N.
Nashville, Tennessee
2025
“My ex filed for more child support after I started a small business. My lawyer showed the court my actual net income after expenses, not just gross revenue. The judge set a fair amount in Shelby County. He spoke Arabic and Kurdish and understood the struggles of building something from scratch.”

Tennessee family law overview
Understanding Tennessee's family law statutes helps you protect your rights and plan your case. Here's what you need to know.
Divorce Requirements
Adultery, Desertion for 1+ years, Conviction of a felony, Habitual drunkenness or drug abuse, Cruel and inhuman treatment, Inappropriate marital conduct, Indignities rendering the spouse's position intolerable, Impotence at time of marriage, Bigamy
Tennessee allows both no-fault (irreconcilable differences) and fault-based divorce. For irreconcilable differences, both spouses must agree OR the court must hold a hearing after 90 days. Tennessee courts can consider fault in property division and alimony decisions, which makes the choice between fault and no-fault filing strategically important.
Property Division
Tennessee uses equitable distribution (called "equitable division"). Marital property is divided fairly but not necessarily equally. Courts consider the duration of the marriage, each spouse's contribution (including homemaking), the value of separate property, the economic circumstances of each spouse, and whether the division is in lieu of or in addition to alimony.
Tennessee distinguishes between "marital property" (acquired during marriage) and "separate property" (owned before marriage, inherited, or gifted). Mahr agreements may be analyzed under Tennessee contract law principles, similar to prenuptial agreements. Courts have discretion to deviate from equal division based on multiple factors.
Child Custody
Best interests of the child
Yes
- •The love, affection, and emotional ties between each parent and child
- •The importance of continuity in the child's life and length of time in a stable environment
- •The stability of the family unit of the parents
- +7 more factors considered
Tennessee encourages both parents' involvement and uses a "parenting plan" system. Courts must approve a permanent parenting plan that specifies the residential schedule, decision-making authority, and dispute resolution methods. The plan must be in the best interests of the child.
Child Support
Tennessee uses the income shares model based on both parents' combined adjusted gross incomes, the number of children, and the number of days each parent has the child. The state provides detailed guidelines and worksheets for calculating support.
Support continues until age 18, or through high school graduation if the child is still attending and turns 18 during the school year (up to age 19). Tennessee courts may also order parents to contribute to college expenses under certain circumstances.
