TENNESSEE Part 54



What is shared parenting, and how does it work?

If parents are to share final decision-making authority and there is a dispute, the method for resolution of that dispute must be spelled out, and most likely the court will require the parents to mediate before going to court. By splitting the designation of parenting or residential time from decision-making authority and by eliminating the terms "custody" and "visitation" from the new vocabulary, the parenting plan law hopes to seriously reduce "custody wars" and encourage "co-parenting."
