Legal Question in Family Law in Tennessee

If you and the Father were never married, AND as long as there is no parenting plan in place, you are fine to leave the state. If you have a parenting plan, please reference that plan to make sure you follow the requirements of travel. Typically, if you are traveling out of state for more than 48 hours (and there is a parenting plan establishing the Father as the child's legal Father), you would have to provide notice to the Father of where you are going and provide him an itinerary and emergency contact information. You do not have to have his permission, though.
