Memphis Family Law Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How is Child Custody determined in Memphis Family Law and Memphis Divorce Courts?
A.
The guiding factor for Memphis courts in child custody determination is what is in the best interest of the child. Tennessee law does not allow the court to consider the gender of the parent in awarding custody. In making an initial custody determination the court will consider all relevant factors including the following:
- The willingness and ability of each parent to facilitate and encourage a close relationshipbetween the child and the other parent.
- The parent’s ability to instruct, inspire, and encourage the child.
- The strength, nature, and stability of the child’s relationship with each parent.
- Any refusal to attend a court ordered parent education seminar.
- The disposition of each parent to provide the child with food, clothing, medical care, and education.
- Love, affection, and emotional ties existing between each parent and the child
