According to Tennessee laws, you and the other parent should consider the following factors when making decisions regarding the development of your parenting plan:
1. The love, affection, and emotional ties between the parents and child.
2. The importance of continuity and the length of time the child has lived in a stable and satisfactory environment.
3. Whether there has been any domestic violence or physical or mental abuse to the child, spouse, or any other person and whether a parent has had to relocate to avoid such violence.
4. The stability of the family unit.
5. The mental and physical health of the parents.
6. The home, school, and community record of the child.
7. The reasonable preference of a child over 12 years of age.
8. The character and behavior of any person who lives in or visits the parent's home and such person's interactions with the child.
9. Each parent's past and potential performance of parenting duties, including a willingness and ability to facilitate and encourage a close and continuing parent-child relationship with the other parent.
The Tennessee courts realize you and the other parent know your own situation better than anyone else, which is why this is your opportunity to create a parenting plan that will maintain a family structure that is in the best interests of your child(ren).
