In a recent Cheatham Chancery Court meeting held on July 29, 2025, significant progress was made regarding ongoing family law cases, particularly focusing on custody issues and trial scheduling. The court addressed a motion to set a case for trial, following a previous decision to set aside a divorce decree. The presiding judge noted that the trial is now scheduled for November 24, 2025, allowing ample time for the involved parties to complete necessary discovery and mediation processes.
The case primarily revolves around custody arrangements for a 17-year-old boy, with no other significant issues raised regarding support or property division. The judge emphasized the importance of resolving custody matters efficiently, given the child's age and the potential impact on his well-being.
Additionally, the court addressed a motion for an attorney to withdraw from a case, which was granted without opposition. This procedural decision reflects the ongoing adjustments within the legal representation of the parties involved. The judge also allowed for a 30-day period for one party to secure new legal counsel before the upcoming November hearing.
Overall, the meeting underscored the court's commitment to facilitating timely resolutions in family law matters, particularly those involving children. As the November trial date approaches, the focus will remain on ensuring that all parties are adequately prepared to address the custody issues at hand.
