    • Abandonment
    • Grandparent visitation
    • Open records law and indigents
    • Right to counsel

    Written by a practitioner for practitioners, this user-friendly guide has been widely acclaimed for providing specific, matter-of-fact guidance. The included CD-ROM gives you added convenience, flexibility and portability with electronic searches, the ability to copy and paste into your documents, electronic forms to save you valuable time drafting clients' documents, and more.

    "Coppock on Tennessee Adoption Law is easy to read, authoritative, and chock full of helpful commentary. It contains all of the reference material an adoption attorney would need.
