Child Support Modifications
You may have a right to a child support modification if you can prove a material change of circumstances from the time the previous child support order was issued. Examples of a material change may include:
- Job loss
- Significant change in salary
- Significant change in health care or daycare costs.
If you feel you are paying too much support, or receiving too little support, contact our law office to schedule a consultation with one of our experienced family law attorneys. We can perform a child support calculation in accordance with the Tennessee Child Support Guidelines to determine if you have a basis to seek a child support modification.
Child Custody and Visitation Modifications
To obtain a modification of custody or visitation, you must prove a material change in circumstances, and the proposed custody or visitation modification must be in the best interest of the child. Tennessee courts are reluctant to significantly modify custody or visitation without a strong justification. Modest changes to a visitation schedule are more frequently granted by the courts. However, if the physical or emotional welfare of a child is jeopardized by a current custodial arrangement, a change of primary residential custody may be warranted.
