Bowlin, II, and the team at his firm understand that this area of family law can cause significant emotional stress, and we will diligently work to provide aggressive representation for you and ensure that what is rightfully yours remains yours.

Our firm has a deep understanding of Tennessee law as it applies to family law and separation, and we will use our experience to help you receive a favorable outcome for your case.

In some divorce cases, an agreement based on property and asset division can be reached amicably by the divorcing couple through mediation or uncontested divorce, but in other cases, the details may have to be hashed out in a court of law. All property in the state of Tennessee is considered communal property if it has been obtained during the course of the marriage or during divorce proceedings. If there are no prenuptial agreements, marital property may be equally distributed between the couple. Equitable distribution is a fair distribution of a couple's assets at value worth — not necessarily in terms of numerical equality.

There are a few factors that a judge will consider when determining the overall distribution of property, including:

  • The amount of income that each party has
  • The contribution that each spouse made during the course of the marriage
  • The length of the marriage
  • The age, health, skills and employment of all parties
  • Children that may from the marriage
  • Social Security benefits of each spouse
  • The value of property in each of the spouse's names

    A few years ago I was addicted to drugs. My addiction led me to steal and eventually I caught a few criminal charges. Troy Bowlin took my case. I spent time in jail for a little while as my bond was revoked. Troy immediately started working on getting me released and helping me through the release process. Troy was finally able to get me released to a 45-day rehab facility versus spending more time in jail. The rehab was a wonderful experience on my road to sobriety. Once I left rehab, the court appearances began. Troy was always present and on time. He would even be there early to discuss with me what would probably happen before court began. This was very comforting because when you are facing felony charges, court is very nerve-wracking. Troy was able to get me two years unsupervised probation. Based on the charges I had incurred this was short of a miracle. The two years gave me time to evaluate my life and become clean and sober. After the two years, Troy filed for judicial diversion. Once this was done, I have absolutely no charges on my record today. From where I started to where I ended up is all because of Troy's hard work. I find myself very lucky to have been blessed with this kind of caliber of lawyer. If it wasn't for Troy I would not be starting Nursing School in the fall. My future is bright now and my path is clear. If it was not for Troy I would not be as successful as I am now.
