Parents can establish paternity in Tennessee until the child reaches age 21; however, the VAoP process is available only until the child reaches age 19. It is in the best interest of the child to establish paternity right away, preferably at the time of birth.
HB 2698 by *Parkinson Paternity - As introduced, clarifies that a party to a civil or criminal proceeding in which the paternity of a child is at issue may voluntarily seek a genetic test from an accredited laboratory before a court issues an order requiring the genetic test.
If a child is born to unmarried persons and there is no COURT ORDER identifying a father, Tennessee law states that the mother automatically has both legal and physical custody of the child. In order for a potential father to have any custody/visitation rights to a child, there MUST be a COURT ORDER.
The most common reasons a mother may lose custody in Texas include neglect, abuse, substance abuse, failure to follow court orders, and parental alienation. Courts prioritize the childs best interest and will modify custody arrangements if a mothers actions compromise the childs safety or emotional well-being.
