NOTICE – New Law in 2018: Tennessee Parent Relocation Law Changed
Do to a new law passed in 2018, Tennessee’s parent relocation statute and law changed dramatically for all new parent relocation matters filed after July 1, 2018. This means that much of the prior case law discussing move away cases, especially involving parents who did not share roughly equal parenting time, is no longer valid or relevant. However, the author believes that many of the prior cases discussing relocation action disputes involving parents who do share roughly equal parenting time and important aspects of the statute which have not been changed by the new law, can still be relied upon for important legal arguments. Parent relocation law will continue to evolve over time. It may take years to understand the impact of this change on Tennesseans. Plus, expect the Supreme Court of Tennessee to add interpretation to this new development. As such, the author has chosen to discontinue sales of his book on Amazon, Tennessee Parent Relocation Law, published in 2013. Updates and case law summaries are found on MemphisDivorce.com’s Tennessee Family Law Blog: Parent Relocation Law – General, Parent Relocation Granted, and Parent Relocation Denied.
