Divorce and Child custody Memphis Tennessee 901 352 3713 Child custody laws are very similar among different U.S. states, particularly since nearly every state has adopted the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA). The Act grants jurisdiction over child custody matters to the child's home state, which helps eliminate the confusion that otherwise may result from children being taken across state lines. Essentially, the UCCJEA requires states to honor child custody orders from other states in an effort to eliminate child abductions by noncustodial parents. Tennessee child custody laws allow for joint custody and grandparents' visitation rights, while emphasizing the child's own wishes when considering custody decisions. In fact, Tennessee courts are required to state, in writing, why its legal and why the physical custody decision is in the child's best interests. The basics of Tennessee's child custody laws are listed below. Child Custody section. Code Section 36-6-101, 102 Year Uniform Child Custody Act Adopted 1979 Joint Custody an Option?
