Child Custody and Support - As enacted, requires a court to include written findings of fact as to whether certain limitations in parenting plans apply in a child custody order, whether temporary or permanent. - Amends TCA Title 29; Title 36 and Title 37.

Summary

The act adds new rules to Tennessee’s child‑custody statutes. Courts must include written findings about any limits in a parenting plan and must explain why they place a child with a parent who has been found to commit physical, sexual, or domestic violence, after reviewing protective‑services records. It also allows evidence of prior conduct to be admitted even if a previous plan exists, and gives highest weight to credible abuse evidence.
