Tennessee’s divorce professionals, verified.
Real attorneys, mediators, CDFAs and therapists — credentials checked against Tennessee’s own official directories, not paid placement.

Every professional below is currently at the Listed tier: credentials independently verified from an official Tennessee source, automatically included whether they’ve opted into The Cusp or not — the same way a bar association directory works. Nobody here has paid for placement, and none of them have published pricing or been reviewed yet.
What “verified” means on this page
Not every check is the same check, and most directories hide that. Every listing below says which kind it was, and the date we did it — because a license check is a photograph, not a guarantee. Somebody confirmed in August can be suspended in September.
- State registerChecked against the state’s own licensing, court or bar record.
- Issuing bodyChecked against the organization that grants this credential — authoritative for the credential, but it is their own list.
- Membership listingA membership directory. Joining is voluntary, and this is not a license check.
- Self-reportedTaken from this person’s own website. Nobody independent confirmed it, and we are re-checking these against an official register.
- Source linkedChecked against the source linked, which is not a state register.
Nobody paid to be listed here, and nobody can. Listings are not for sale, and no professional on this page has paid us anything to appear on it or to appear higher on it. If we are ever paid in connection with anyone listed here, it will say so on this page, next to that listing. Most of these were confirmed against a state register. A small number were not, and rather than quietly presenting those as equivalent, they are marked and we are re-checking them.
Family law & divorce attorneys
Verified via the state’s official bar / attorney licensing source, filtered to family law practice and active status.
Certified mediators
Verified via an official court-connected or state-recognized mediator roster.
Not included yet. CDFAs: IDFA’s Find a CDFA directory is a fully JavaScript-rendered search widget with no server-side results, no public API, and no static listing pages. No Tennessee CDFA could be confirmed against this official source this pass, so none are listed rather than guessing.
Not included yet. Therapists: Candidate Tennessee therapists with a stated divorce focus were identified, but the official Tennessee Department of Health licensure verification tool requires solving a CAPTCHA to run any search — which our research rules prohibit bypassing — and the alternate endpoint returned repeated HTTP 503 errors. Because the licenses could not be independently confirmed, no therapists are listed.
What these professionals typically cost in Tennessee
Tennessee falls in the South region on The Cusp’s cost model — illustrative, member-reported ranges, not an official fee survey or a quote.
| Item | Reported range |
|---|---|
| Attorney, uncontested | $800–$2,800 |
| Attorney, contested | $3,500–$16,000+ |
| Mediator, full case | $80–$250/hr |
See the main directory page for the full regional cost breakdown across all four professional types.
Know someone in Tennessee who needs this?
Sending one person a straight answer about money is more useful than most advice. Nothing here asks for their real name, and nobody finds out they looked.
Doing your own Tennessee filing instead?
The Tennessee Divorce Kit has the exact forms, deadlines, and rejection traps for your county.
Everybody on this page charges for their time. If money is the constraint — and for most people reading this it is — these two come first, and we earn nothing from either.
