Which Parent Gets Custody in Tennessee?
Both fathers and mothers have the right to maximum parenting time under Tennessee law. It doesn’t matter if the parents were divorced or never married. The exact amount of parenting time a parent is awarded will depend upon a variety of factors that concern each parent’s ability to effectively care for their children.
For unmarried fathers, determining paternity may not be enough to ensure adequate time with your child. You also must convince the court that awarding you additional time is in your child’s best interest. We can represent fathers seeking any custody modification or in the establishment of paternity.
