Bill > HB2127

This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) Section 36-6-106(a) to clarify that courts must consider the best interests of a child in all child custody orders, whether they are temporary or permanent. The government-provided summary indicates that this bill will require courts to give the highest weight to credible evidence of physical abuse, sexual abuse, or domestic violence when determining a child's best interests, and this consideration will apply equally to abuse committed against any member of the child's household.
