Guiding Families Through Their Most Personal Challenges

Family matters bring a level of emotion and stress that few other legal issues can match. When your home life becomes uncertain, every decision feels heavier, and the future of your family can appear unclear. At Laxson Law, I help individuals and parents across Pulaski and Middle Tennessee navigate some of life’s most difficult transitions with confidence and compassion. Whether you’re going through a divorce, adjusting a parenting plan, seeking adoption, or addressing long-term financial responsibilities, my role is to provide steady guidance through a process that can otherwise feel overwhelming.

A Practical, Supportive Approach to Family Conflict

Family disputes are rarely simple. They often involve layers of history, emotion, and differing perspectives. I take time to understand your story, your goals, and the dynamics that brought you to this point. This helps me craft a strategy that protects your interests while also striving for solutions that support your children’s well-being and preserve stability wherever possible. While I am prepared to litigate when necessary, I also work hard to resolve matters efficiently and amicably if that better serves your family. My approach is to support your long-term stability, not just your immediate legal needs.

Keeping Your Future and Your Children at the Center

In family law, every choice has the potential to shape your future. Whether you are determining custody arrangements, dividing property, or seeking modifications, these decisions influence your financial stability, your relationship with your children, and your overall peace of mind. I guide you through each step of the process with a focus on clarity, honesty, and practical advice. You deserve to understand the potential outcomes, the risks involved, and the best path forward based on your goals — not just the legal requirements on paper.

Navigating Divorce With Strength and Stability

Divorce is never easy, but it doesn’t have to define your life. I work closely with clients to help them understand their rights and responsibilities, protect their financial future, and preserve their relationship with their children. From negotiation and settlement discussions to courtroom advocacy, I help you navigate issues related to property division, debts, alimony, and child custody. My goal is to reduce conflict, provide clear direction, and help you move into the next chapter of your life with confidence and stability.

Helping Parents Create or Modify Parenting Plans

Your children’s well-being will always be the top priority in any custody-related matter. Whether you are establishing a parenting plan for the first time or seeking a modification due to changes in circumstances, I help you develop arrangements that support your children’s best interests while protecting your relationship with them. I work with parents on schedules, decision-making authority, communication expectations, and long-term planning. If disputes arise, I advocate firmly for your parental rights and for outcomes that promote a healthy, stable environment for your children.

Adoption, Termination, and Parental Rights Matters

Some of the most meaningful work I do involves helping families grow through adoption or navigating the serious matters of terminating parental rights when necessary. These cases require attention to detail, patience, and adherence to specific legal procedures. Whether you are welcoming a new child into your home or protecting a child from an unsafe situation, I guide you through every step of the process with care and diligence.

How I Help in Each Family Law Matter

Divorce

I walk clients through the full divorce process, helping them understand their rights, prepare their financial documentation, negotiate fair settlements, and protect their future stability.

Child Custody Modification

When circumstances change, parenting plans may need to be updated. I help parents evaluate their options and pursue modifications that are practical, appropriate, and best for the children involved.

Adoption

I support families through adoption by handling the legal requirements, preparing all necessary filings, and ensuring the process is as smooth and joyful as possible.

Termination of Parental Rights

These cases require careful legal analysis and strong evidence. I guide clients through this process when a child’s safety or well-being is at stake.

Establishing a Parenting Plan

I assist parents in creating a structured, workable parenting plan that reflects the child’s needs while maintaining stability and promoting positive long-term outcomes.

Alimony Modification

If your financial circumstances or your former spouse’s situation has changed, I help you pursue adjustments to alimony that reflect current realities and needs.
