Additional Information
Child custody is all about the kids! Tennessee courts are required to make all child custody decisions based upon the best interest of the minor child. When courts determine child custody issues, the judge is required to do a comparative fitness test based upon a number of custody criteria. At Turner Law Offices, P.C., we view all of our child custody cases as unique, and our lawyers are committed to do our best to obtain your desired outcome in your child custody.
At the initial custody determination, the judge is required to perform a comparative fitness test. The court looks at numerous legal factors, compares the fitness of each parent to the other parent. The court is required to name the parent with whom the children will reside most of the time, and determine a residential schedule for the other parent. The court will then fashion a Permanent Parenting Plan which will address all issues regarding the minor children.
When child support is set by a judge, the amount of child support to be paid on a monthly basis becomes an Order of the Court. If child support is not paid-in-full or is not paid timely, then the parent owing child support can be found in contempt of court and put in jail! Judges demand that their orders are followed, and they take little to no excuses for failure to do what they order someone to do. Although contempt of court is the usual enforcement action for failure to pay child support, there are other criminal statutes and license regulations that can be used.
Additionally, a person can be arrested criminally for nonsupport. Nonsupport, a class A misdemeanor carrying jail time up to 11 months 29 days and a fine up to $2,500, is defined as “fail[ing] to provide support which that person is able to provide and knows the person has a duty to provide to a minor child or to a child or spouse who, because of physical or mental disability, is unable to be self-supporting.
If the parent ordered to pay child support has a prior conviction of nonsupport or has left Tennessee to avoid paying the child support obligation, that parent can be charged with flagrant nonsupport, a Class E felony carrying from 1 to 6 years in prison and a fine up to $5,000.
