Undo And Redo In Legal Tennessee Divorce Forms For Free

In limited circumstances, it is possible to get an ?agreed divorce? in Tennessee without hiring an attorney. The Tennessee Supreme Court has approved divorce forms that, if properly completed, must be accepted by all Tennessee courts that hear divorce cases.

Another post-divorce issue we often see with our clients involves dealing with intentionally or unintentionally undisclosed assets. If one spouse failed to disclose the existence of an important asset or debt during the divorce process, the other has the right to re-open the divorce by filing a post-judgment motion.

Before moving forward with appealing your divorce settlement, you should consult with an experienced attorney (like ours at Casey, Simmons & Bryant, PLLC) to make sure this is in your best interest. Note: you cannot stop someone from divorcing you, and therefore, once finalized, you cannot have your divorce reversed.

If you want to modify your divorce agreement, you must demonstrate that there has been ?a substantial and material change in the circumstances? since the court entered the last order. The change can occur to you or the other party.

In Tennessee, if divorcing spouses have minor children a divorce cannot be granted for at least 90 days after the Complaint for Divorce is filed. This is referred to as a ?cooling off? period. If the parties do not have minor children, a divorce can be granted 60 days after the Complaint for Divorce is filed.

If you can't afford to pay the fees now, you can file a Request to Postpone Filing Fees and Order. If the court grants your request, you won't have to pay any court costs during your divorce.
