The law clearly protects both men and women equally. Both in asset division and child custody matters. However, certain norms exist in the divorce process that appear to give an advantage to women. Why is this?  Well, human nature tends to see the woman as the nurturer and thus the best candidate for primary custody of a child.  Further, human nature tends to lean towards a woman as needing more financial support than a man.  However, these presumptions are very often way off base.  By and large men are just as capable of nurturing a child and serving as the primary residential parent. Or at least equally in the role of parenting. Also, financial equality between men and women is more common than we usually think.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Protecting Rights of the Man<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Like any legal issue, a man involved in a Tennessee divorce needs a legal advocate. A Tennessee divorce lawyer who knows how to present the man&#8217;s needs to the Court, and in negotiations. An attorney who knows how to ensure the balance of rights is followed.  However, keep in mind that the facts of each particular case impacts the outcome. Not every father should or would share equally in parenting or make a fit primary custodian. Likewise, not every woman would either. Also, there are times when financial needs require alimony, or other financial benefits to the wife.  But, an experienced Tennessee divorce lawyer knows how to ensure fairness in the process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" src=\"https:\/\/purplelawfirm.com\/law-and-you-chattanooga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/965BCB4A-2F8B-49A1-8F59-14A820AF263A-300x169-1.jpg\" alt=\"Chattanooga Tennessee Divorce lawyer Jim Purple, protecting men\u2019s rights since 1982\" class=\"wp-image-3686\" srcset=\"https:\/\/purplelawfirm.com\/law-and-you-chattanooga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/965BCB4A-2F8B-49A1-8F59-14A820AF263A-300x169-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/purplelawfirm.com\/law-and-you-chattanooga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/965BCB4A-2F8B-49A1-8F59-14A820AF263A-1024x576-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/purplelawfirm.com\/law-and-you-chattanooga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/965BCB4A-2F8B-49A1-8F59-14A820AF263A-768x432-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/purplelawfirm.com\/law-and-you-chattanooga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/965BCB4A-2F8B-49A1-8F59-14A820AF263A-425x239-1.jpg 425w, https:\/\/purplelawfirm.com\/law-and-you-chattanooga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/965BCB4A-2F8B-49A1-8F59-14A820AF263A.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption>Divorce Lawyer <a href=\"https:\/\/purplelawfirm.com\/chattanooga-attorney-jim-purple\/\">Jim Purple<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tennessee Divorce Fair to a Man?
