TENNESSEE Part 46



May the primary residential parent move out of state with the child?

It depends on the situation. The move may not be motivated by vindictiveness and must be in the best interests of the child. Timely notice, however, must be given tot he other parent. It's a good idea to consult with an experienced family lawyer before you make a final decision to move. A parent seeking to prevent the move may petition for a change of designation of primary residential parent or ask the court to deny the child's relocation. The factors the court must consider depend on whether the parents spend substantially equal time with the child or whether the parent seeking to relocate has the child for a greater proportion of the time.
