About this firm

At Meriwether & Tharp, we've spent more than 20 years helping people through some of the most difficult times in their life. That's our specialty. We know that obtaining a divorce can be a difficult process. Not only do you have to navigate the legal complications surrounding equitable division, child support, alimony, and child custody, but you also have to deal with the emotional toll a divorce places on you and your family. Many of you have to manage this legal and emotional burden while continuing to maintain jobs, pay bills, taxi children to their extra-curricular activities, assist with homework, etc. That is why we decided to focus our entire practice on this one area of law. That is why we are here for you. We take care of your divorce. You take care of your life.

At Meriwether & Tharp one of our core values is education. We focus extensively on internal training and education for our divorce lawyers to keep them sharp on the latest best practices. Externally, we focus heavily on providing free resources to educate our clients so they can make the best possible decisions in their divorce and achieve their goals. Further, our divorce lawyers are resolution focused. Rather than focusing on upping the legal fees through incessant fighting and litigating, we focus on quickly finding the best resolution that also meets your goals for the divorce.
