Divorce
Under divorce law in Tennessee, all assets are either separate, marital, or mixed. Separate assets are those things and properties belonging to a person before marriage or received as a gift or inherited during the marriage. Separate property is awarded to that party. All other property that is acquired by the parties, jointly during the marriage is usually considered joint property regardless of whether or not the property is held in one of the parties’ name or titled in the name of both husband or wife. One spouse does have an interest in the other spouse’s business. Businesses will normally be evaluated, and the parties’ respective interest in the business will be divided. The principal rule is that all marital property is to be divided fairly and equitably, which does not always mean a 50/50 division.

Child Support
In Tennessee, Child Support is determined using a formula that considers such factors as the incomes of both parties and the amount of parenting time the child spends with each parent.
Child Custody and Visitation
Complies with the law of the State of Tennessee and child support guidelines, is required that provides for the care, support and maintenance of the minor children. If the parties cannot agree on the issues of child custody, child support, spousal support, child visitation, division of marital property, or any other issue, the court will require the parties to enter into mediation. If the parties still cannot come to an agreement, the case will be tried in court by the judge.
Adoption
Guardianship
Estate Planning and Care for minor children in the event of the death of both parents is the most important consideration to be taken by young couples. All young couples with children and even with modest estates can and should make provisions in their wills with Testamentary Trusts and Guardianships which provide in the event of a simultaneous death of the parents or upon death of the last to die with minor children remaining, for management of the estate’s assets for the minor children’s care, support, maintenance and education, further providing for a trusting family member to act as trustee and guardian of the children.
Spousal Support
Need and ability to pay are the primary considerations in the granting or denying of spousal support and alimony. Also taken into consideration in the granting of alimony is the length of the marriage, the size of the estates of each party, and to some extent, the fault involved in the grounds for divorce. In the State of Tennessee, alimony can be grouped into four main categories.

Business and Corporate Law

Business Disputes
In the area of business law, Vaughn & Hall focuses on the smaller businesses. The firm and our services have evolved with our clients’ needs. Our clients call on us for assistance with business and litigation issues. From the beginning stages when a business person must decide on the type of entity to choose to various licensing and other governmental regulatory hurdles they face, Vaughn & Hall, Attorneys counsel clients to help them make the decisions best

Personal Injury
As your attorneys, they support you in your claim for compensation for lost wages, medical expenses, and pain and suffering. An injured party needs the assistance of experienced attorneys when they have been the victim of a negligent wrong-doer who has caused them injuries. Failing to immediately obtain legal counsel and discussing your case with insurance adjustors can be very damaging to your personal injury case. It is the insurance adjustor’s job to settle with you as cheaply as possible or by delaying you until the statute of limitations has run. Remember, the insurance adjustor is employed by and works for the insurance company and not for you. The insurance adjustor gets paid by the insurance company, not by you. The insurance adjustor has the best interest of his employer, the insurance company, at heart, and not your best interest. There are statutory time limits which, when passed, cut off the injured victim’s rights to seek compensation for their injuries. It will cost you nothing to seek counsel with the attorneys at Vaughn and Hall to discuss the injuries sustained in the accident in order to give the attorneys the opportunity to evaluate the claim and to discuss the actions and procedures for compensation for your lost wages, medical expenses and pain and suffering.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
And the inheritance and estate tax consequences. Estate Planning is a very complex process. If the size of your estate exceeds the exemption amounts under the State of Tennessee and the Federal law, the estate will be required to pay death taxes on that portion of your net estate that exceeds the exemptions. This is especially a tax problem upon the subsequent death of a husband or wife. Upon the death of the first spouse to die, all outright gifts to the surviving spouse pass to the surviving spouse under the marital deduction free of taxes both by the State of Tennessee and by the Federal Government. However, the problem arises upon the death of the survivor. There is no marital deduction available for the surviving spouse to utilize at death. The tax problem can be especially burdensome upon the death of the surviving spouse with an increased estate, which would then be consisting of the combination of what previously had been his property, her property, and their property, unless a well though-out estate plan is prepared and implemented by husband and wife before the death of the first to die. Your estate plan should provide for the surviving spouse yet, at the same time, prevent an increase in your surviving spouse’s estate, thus reducing the potential death tax liability upon the estate of the surviving spouse at death. A thorough discussion of tax avoidance estate planning is beyond the scope of a web site. A surviving spouse can be protected and financially cared for and the tax liability decreased by various estate planning and death tax saving steps, such as shifting assets between husband and wife to evenly divide assets among them in large estates. Couples with modest estates may not warrant asset shifting. Furthermore, taxes on the estate of the “last to die” can be minimized by various “by/pass, credit shelter trusts” in the will of the first spouse to die, which are designed to shelter the maximum amount of property that can pass free of Federal and State of Tennessee death taxes from the surviving spouse’s estate. The credit shelter trust in large estates is usually funded in an amount equal to a maximum amount that can qualify for the exemption.
Wills
There are other will and trust provisions that can be employed to provide for a surviving spouse’s care and support and at the same time, minimize death taxes upon the death of that surviving “second to die” spouse.
Trusts
Power of Attorney
In estate planning, consideration should also be given to the need of durable powers of attorney, living wills, healthcare plans and directives.
