Divorce in Tennessee

The Tennessee divorce rate of 5.1 per 1000 is considered quite high when compared to the national average of 3.6. While divorce laws in Tennessee can be detailed they aren’t necessarily difficult to understand. Tennessee courts will grant a ‘no fault’ divorce if a couple agrees to irreconcilable differences or if they have been separated for two years or more with no minor children. A ‘fault’ divorce may be granted on the grounds of impotence, adultery, conviction and imprisonment for a felony, bigamy as well as a number of other grounds.
