Child Support
The state you reside in sets the guidelines for child support with a formula based on income, the number of children and other factors. In recent years, Tennessee has decided to consider the income of the custodial parent as well as the noncustodial parent. In addition, over time the court may review the child support to make sure it is accurate in case either of the parent’s income has changed or other special circumstances have occurred.
Child Visitation
Normally the noncustodial parent will receive visitation with the child and this will vary from case to case. Many factors such as distance, work shift, and holidays can determine how much time you spend together, or apart. If the parents live too far apart, the other parent may receive a long summer vacation and school breaks.
If the court feels that the child may be in danger when visiting a parent, visitation can be denied or require that visitations are supervised by a social worker or responsible relative.
