00:00:03 I think the first thing that a lot of people make a mistake on is they don’t secure Council on the front end they make a lot of assumptions about Tennessee law and how that’s going to affect their financial rights in the divorce a lot of clients come to me and say look this is going to be very easy we’ve already separated everything into our own accounts I never owned anything with his name on it or he never owned anything with her name on it and a lot of people assume that in Tennessee marital assets are governed by
00:00:37 what names are on which assets that’s not necessarily the case in Tennessee and so unfortunately a lot of people make assumptions about how their finances are going to play through the divorce process I advise everyone to seek counsel at the get-go so that way they have a fair and full understanding of how their finances are going to be impacted in a divorce process

PattersonBray Estate Planning was an incredible firm to work with setting up our Trust. Judith Denham was thorough, very smart, and personable as she patiently explained each part. Gabby put together a very professional beautiful binder for us to have, and has answered questions we have had since then.
