Tennessee Child Custody
Tennessee child custody will be
determined based upon the best interests
of the child . The child’s preference is a factor that the Court will
consider. While there is no preference regarding the sex of either parent in
determining custody, if the child is of tender years, the sex of the parent
seeking custody is a factor that may be considered. If the parties have agreed
to share joint custody, a Tennessee Court will presume that such an arrangement is in
the child’s best interests. However, if there is a history of domestic
violence, the Court will presume that joint custody is not in the child’s best
interests.
