EspañolOn our Tennessee Custody page, we created in English and Spanish the new subsection Steps to file for custody, which reorganized the steps into six separate questions, making it easier for users to find the information they need:
- Considerations before filing
- Step 1: Prepare for the case
- Step 2: File and serve the custody petition
- Step 3: Preliminary court dates
- Step 4: Reach an agreement or go to trial
- Step 5: Options if you disagree with the order
These questions explain the usual stages in a custody case and cross-link to other relevant information on our website.
We also reorganized the page to make it easier for users to find the information they are looking for by doing the following:
- We moved the questions Who can get custody?, When can a grandparent file a petition for visitation rights?, and When can a grandparent be granted visitation rights? to the new subsection called Who can get custody and visitation; and
- We moved the question How will the judge make a decision about custody? to the new subsection called The custody process.
We also added the question Do I need a lawyer? to The custody process sub-section, in English and Spanish.
