NEW CHANGES FOR TENNESSEE PARENTS

After roughly a decade with no updates, Tennessee changed their Tennessee Child Support Calculator. The calculation is effective May 10, 2020. The Tennessee Parenting Plan has NOT changed (yet?).

A few of the TN Child Support Calculation changes to the calculator include: 

• Changes to the Child Support amount based on updated poverty statistics
• Additions to terms like Mother/Father to include gender neutral terms Parent 1/Parent 2 
• A line added for “Adjusted for Minimum Order” on the last page of the worksheet

According to the http://www.TN.gov website, Tennessee has a brand-new version of their Web Style Calculator coming soon. Miles Mason, a Memphis Attorney, has already updated his free child support calculator App to reflect the changes. You may want to contact an Attorney or call our office to see if these changes result an adjustment to your current Child Support amount. Finally, the Court may reject calculations done with the old version. If your divorce has not yet become final, it may be advisable to run the new worksheet.

The current 2017 version of the Tennessee Permanent Parenting Plan, available in English, Spanish, Korean and Vietnamese, can be found by following the link: Http://Www.Tncourts.Gov/Programs/Parenting-Plan/Forms
