Beal | Crutcher: Franklin Family Law With a Rule 31 Mediator and a Former Fairview Vice Mayor

By Expert Attorneys

Beal | Crutcher is a Franklin, Tennessee firm serving Brentwood, Franklin, Williamson County, and the surrounding Middle Tennessee counties, with a core focus on divorce and family law. Attorney Robbie T. Beal is a former Circuit Court Judge for the 21st Judicial District, a former Juvenile Court Magistrate, and a former Assistant District Attorney. He is also a Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 31 Family Law Mediator. Attorney Shannon Crutcher has practiced law for more than 12 years and previously served as Vice Mayor of the Fairview City Commission.

The family docket includes uncontested, complex, and high-asset divorce; child custody and child support and their modification; alimony; property division, including dividing a business; qualified domestic relations orders; paternity; relocation; grandparents' rights; prenuptial agreements; adoption; legal separation; annulment; domestic violence; juvenile court; enforcement and contempt; mediation; and appeals. A high-asset case that requires a QDRO to divide a retirement account, and a later request to modify custody after a parent relocates, can both be handled from the Forrest Crossing office.

Rule 31 mediation is a Tennessee Supreme Court process for resolving family cases outside a full trial, which sits alongside Beal's years on the circuit and juvenile benches and in the prosecutor's office. Crutcher's municipal work as Fairview's vice mayor is a different kind of public-service background from the courtroom path Beal took before entering private practice.

The firm also handles criminal defense and DUI, personal injury, business services and litigation, and estate planning and probate. Those matters are part of the same Franklin practice rather than a separate shop. Beal | Crutcher works from 103 Forrest Crossing Blvd, Suite 201A, in Franklin.

Juvenile court matters and enforcement or contempt proceedings are part of that family docket, as are legal separation and annulment, which are different from a divorce and are used when a marriage is being set aside or the parties will live apart without a dissolution. Estate planning and probate, and business services and litigation, are available in the same Franklin office for clients who need that work alongside a family case.
