TENNESSEE Part 21

A contested divorce becomes much more complicated and expensive. To start, the Plaintiff, as the Petitioner is known, must file all of the forms he or she would file in an uncontested action. The Defendant, as the Respondent is known, must also file all of these forms as well as an Answer, Form 110, in which he or she challenges or disputes allegations made by the Plaintiff in his or her complaint. In a contested action, the parties may file a Temporary Parenting Plan, Form 140, instead of a Permanent Parenting Plan.
