Tennessee allows both no-fault (irreconcilable differences) and fault-based divorce. For irreconcilable differences, both spouses must agree OR the court must hold a hearing after 90 days. Tennessee courts can consider fault in property division and alimony decisions, which makes the choice between fault and no-fault filing strategically important.
Tennessee uses equitable distribution (called "equitable division"). Marital property is divided fairly but not necessarily equally. Courts consider the duration of the marriage, each spouse's contribution (including homemaking), the value of separate property, the economic circumstances of each spouse, and whether the division is in lieu of or in addition to alimony.
Tennessee distinguishes between "marital property" (acquired during marriage) and "separate property" (owned before marriage, inherited, or gifted). Mahr agreements may be analyzed under Tennessee contract law principles, similar to prenuptial agreements. Courts have discretion to deviate from equal division based on multiple factors.
Best interests of the child
Yes
Tennessee encourages both parents' involvement and uses a "parenting plan" system. Courts must approve a permanent parenting plan that specifies the residential schedule, decision-making authority, and dispute resolution methods. The plan must be in the best interests of the child.
Tennessee uses the income shares model based on both parents' combined adjusted gross incomes, the number of children, and the number of days each parent has the child. The state provides detailed guidelines and worksheets for calculating support.
Support continues until age 18, or through high school graduation if the child is still attending and turns 18 during the school year (up to age 19). Tennessee courts may also order parents to contribute to college expenses under certain circumstances.
Tennessee courts have broad discretion in awarding alimony. The court can consider marital fault in determining the type, amount, and duration of alimony. Rehabilitative and transitional alimony are preferred over long-term alimony in futuro, which is reserved for longer marriages where rehabilitation is not feasible.
