Family Law

• Divorce
  The Law Office of Michael K. Williamson of Clarksville, Tennessee, focuses on family law and creditors' rights. Our divorce and family law clients have legal needs that they cannot address on their own. They are seeking the knowledge, guidance and advocacy that only an experienced lawyer can provide. We take that responsibility very seriously.
• Child Support
  Are you seeking to establish paternity or prevent your child from being adopted? As your lawyer, I know the steps to take to ascertain paternity and pursue appropriate child support. I can help a noncustodial, unmarried father establish paternity and build a relationship with his child.
• Child Custody and Visitation
  Michael K. Williamson has been helping parents safeguard their parental rights since 1984. Not so long ago, full child custody typically went to the mother. The father got to see the kids two weekends a month. Today, family law authorities see the benefit of having both parents regularly involved in a child's life.
• Adoption
  If you are a stepfather to a child you consider to be your own and are seeking to adopt, we can guide you through the process of adopting the child. We are skilled in stepparent adoptions, and we can guide you past many common obstacles along the way. We will help to gain the legal approval of the biological father and address every detail along the way to completing your family.
• Paternity
  If you and your child's mother aren't married, you won't have automatic parental rights after separation. In the Clarksville, TN area, establishing paternity is the first step toward getting a court order for visitation with your children. Establishing paternity is a vital step, even if you and your child's mother are currently on good terms.
• Spousal Support
  You made your alimony agreement during a particular point in your life. As your finances and living situation change, shouldn't your spousal support change, too? For instance, you should request an alimony modification if you lose your source of income, or if your spouse has a considerable increase in their income.
