New Tennessee bill requires drunk drivers to pay child support In April, Tennessee lawmakers unanimously passed House Bill 1834, requiring convicted drunk drivers to pay child support for the children of victims of fatal drunk driving accidents. The bill was brought to lawmakers after a Chattanooga police officer, Nicholas Galinger, was killed in a hit-and-run drunk driving accident in 2019. Will similar laws be passed in other states? Only time will tell, but one can speculate that we’ll see lawmakers throughout the country begin to make similar attempts to offer assistance to the children of victims of drunk driving accidents. |

| Many engaged couples choose to sign a Prenuptial Agreement (“Prenup”) before they wed as it’s an excellent way to protect any of their respective assets owned prior to marriage, as well as income and assets acquired during the marriage, in the event of a divorce.

A prenup is like great insurance: hopefully you’ll never need it, but in case you do, it can be life-saving. Our blogs contain all the information you need to know about prenups: what they are, who needs one, and how to ensure your prenup is enforceable. Click the links below to learn more! |
