Parenting Plans in Murfreesboro and Middle Tennessee
Develop a Permanent Parenting Plan in Murfreesboro that meets Tennessee court requirements. We help Middle Tennessee parents establish clear residential parenting schedules and determine decision-making authority for their children.
When parents separate or divorce, creating a clear, detailed parenting plan is one of the most important steps in protecting your child’s stability and well-being. In Tennessee, a parenting plan is required in all cases involving minor children. This legal document outlines how parents will share time and decision-making responsibilities—and it becomes part of your court order once approved by a judge.
A well-crafted parenting plan does more than divide time; it reduces conflict, sets expectations, and helps children adjust to their new family structure.
What Does A Parenting Plan Cover?
Parenting plans in Tennessee must address several key areas, including:
- When your child is with each parent, including weekdays, weekends, holidays, and school breaks
- Who makes major decisions about education, medical care, and activities
- How parents and children communicate
- How child-related expenses are handled, including medical costs
- Transportation and exchanges
- Rules for relocation if a parent plans to move
- How disagreements are resolved
- Court approval to make the plan legally enforceable in Tennessee
