We Understand What You’re Up Against

When parents separate, the fear of losing your child is crushing. You may feel powerless, uncertain, and desperate for answers. At Burks & Ogle, we’ve guided parents through this process countless times, helping them protect what matters most: their children..

You Have More Options Than You Think

Many parents don’t realize how much can be fought for in custody cases:

  • Parenting time and visitation schedules
  • Joint vs. sole custody
  • Protecting your rights against false claims
  • Working with or fighting against DCS involvement

We fight for every detail to build the strongest case possible for you and your child.

Why You Shouldn’t Go Through Custody Battles Alone

In Tennessee, custody orders directly shape your child’s daily life, education, and well-being. Without strong legal advocacy, you risk losing precious time with your child — sometimes permanently. You need legal guidance before making any decisions.

What Happens in a Child Custody Case?

  • A parenting plan must be filed and approved by the court
  • Custody decisions are based on the child’s “best interests” standard
  • You may face DCS involvement or allegations that complicate your case
  • Court orders can permanently impact your rights and time with your child

We guide you through each step, ensuring your voice is heard and your child’s best interests are protected.

You have the right to fight for custody, request modifications, and challenge unfair claims. We make sure no one takes advantage of you or your child.
