Title 36, including divorce on both fault and no-fault grounds, equitable distribution of marital property, spousal support determinations, and child custody and support proceedings. Cleveland's position as a growing mid-sized Tennessee city means the firm regularly handles cases involving a wide range of financial circumstances, from modest estates to complex marital portfolios with business interests and investment assets. Chancey-Kanavos Law Firm places particular emphasis on child custody matters, understanding that parenting plan decisions have lasting consequences for children's lives and well-being. The firm helps clients understand Tennessee's best-interest-of-the-child standard under T.C.A. §36-6-106, which considers factors including each parent's emotional and physical fitness, the child's relationship with each parent, and each party's willingness to facilitate the other parent's relationship with the child. The firm serves clients in Bradley County, McMinn County, Polk County, and other Southeast Tennessee communities. Chancey-Kanavos Law Firm's knowledge of the Cleveland and Bradley County court environment, combined with a commitment to client-focused representation, makes it a reliable choice for families throughout the region.
