TENNESSEE Part 50



Will spousal abuse affect the designation of primary residential parent?

Allegations of abuse are relevant and important, but technically not controlling. If the abuse is shown to have affected the children, the court will consider this along with the other factors discussed above. Courts look at abuse allegations closely for obvious reasons. If a court believes a spouse has made a false accusation of abuse to gain an advantage in litigation, the consequences will be serious.
