Understanding Tennessee's parenting time threshold and how it affects child support calculations.
What This Means
Tennessee has one of the lowest thresholds in the country:
- Below 68 days: Standard child support calculation applies with limited adjustment.
- 68+ days: Parenting time credit becomes available, which can reduce the support obligation.
68 days represents approximately 19% of the year. Tennessee's low threshold means even moderate parenting time schedules can qualify for adjustments.
