Under Tennessee law, when you are married & a child is born during the marriage, or within 300 days of its termination, a man is rebuttably presumed to be the father of the child. Therefore, if the child was born within this period and no other parentage actions have been brought by a putative father, then your husband is the presumptive father of the child. Therefore, your mother-in-law would be entitled to petition the court to establish visitation rights
