No. The amendment effective July 1, 2026 expressly creates no presumption about parenting time. It makes the child’s best interest paramount and adds consideration of whether the proposed schedule gives each parent meaningful opportunities to participate in the child’s life, consistent with that best interest.
Not automatically. Tennessee’s child-support calculation considers the parents’ incomes, parenting time and relevant child-related expenses. Parents with equal parenting time still complete a child-support worksheet, and one parent may owe support.
No. A job loss or another significant income change may justify reviewing an existing support order, but it does not automatically change the amount owed. Whether an adjustment is available depends on the applicable requirements and the facts of the case.
