Requirements for Parent Plan Modifications

The modification of a parenting plan and timesharing schedule requires a party to demonstrate a substantial, material, and unanticipated change of circumstances.

There are two elements to the statement – the circumstances have significantly and materially changed since the determination of custody and the child’s best interests justify the change.

What Is Considered the Best Interest of the Child for a Modification Case?

In Tennessee, factors of the best interests of the child include, but not limited to, the following:

  • The love, affection, and emotional connection between the parents and the child
  • The disposition of the parents to provide food, clothing, medical care, education, and other required care to the child and the degree to which a parent have been the primary caregiver
  • The continuity in the child’s life and the length of time the child has resided in a satisfactory, stable environment
  • The mental and physical health of the parents
  • The stability of the family unit of the parents
  • The past and potential for future performance of the parenting responsibilities of each party
  • The home, academic, and community record of the child
  • The evidence of physical or emotional abuse toward the child

    "He fought for me and each time won my case. He was humble, understanding and compassionate."
    After meeting him in person I knew he was who I wanted to represent me in a child custody case and later in an adoption case. He responses quickly, effectively and in a timely manner whenever I had a question. He fought for me and each time won my case.

    "Don’t wait any longer if you need someone great, Mr. Bryant will definitely get the job done!"
    First and foremost I want to start by saying how incredible Mr. Daniel Bryant has been for my family, especially my husband Caius. He has been my husband’s attorney for years and has helped him beat multiple cases even by getting them dismissed and expunged. We’re more than thankful for all the hard work he has done and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an amazing attorney!!! Don’t wait any longer if you need someone great, Mr. Bryant will definitely get the job done!

    "I am extremely confident that the truth will continue to prevail with Mr. Casey on our side arguing for it."
    Simply outstanding! Not only is my particular case extremely complex and emotionally taxing for both myself, AND everyone involved (including counsel), but Mr. Casey had literally HOURS to prepare for a crucial motion to be heard, as I hired him at 4 pm for a 9 am court date. This proved to be the best decision we could have ever made! His exemplary presentation of the truth, combined with his calm yet laser-focused attention to what was being presented from the other side was not only impressive but was also what resulted in me being able to spend very precious and valuable time with my daughter. While this case is not yet over, I am extremely confident that the truth will continue to prevail with Mr. Casey on our side arguing for it. Thank you, Mr. Casey!

    "Mr. Daniel Bryant was absolutely one of the best lawyers I had..."
    On my first time to deal with hiring a lawyer from overseas, I was scared and a little skeptical. Mr. Daniel Bryant was absolutely one of the best lawyers I had to deal with. Very professional, patient, clear on explaining things, quick on answering back beside the time difference, easy to work with, human and humble. I would highly reccomend him and definetely hire him again if needed, it is difficilt to find reliable lawyers.

    "Please choose wisely and call Mr. Casey today!!!"
    My ex-wife got our Arkansas visitation changed from Arkansas to Tennessee. She was asking to reduce my visitation days and requesting an absurdly increased amount in child support. I contacted George Michael Casey for consultation. He was very professional, extremely knowledgeable of the law and his customer service is impeccable. Mr. Casey always returns calls and responds to emails promptly. His review of how the case would probably turn out was perfect. I actually got more visitation days and the increase in child support was minimal. If you do not utilize Mr. Casey's expert professional services then you are choosing the wrong attorney. Please choose wisely and call Mr. Casey today!!!

    "I was able to relax through the process, Kortney Simmons is the best!"
    I was a nervous wreck simply considering divorce because of the horror stories I've heard. Kortney leveled the playing field, she was upfront and honest about the pros and cons but assured me she was interested in MY BEST INTEREST. Kortney's professionalism felt personal as if I were more than just a paying client. And because of that, I was able to relax through the process, Kortney Simmons is the best!
