Legal Question in Family Law in Tennessee

change in court order

If my ex husband is paying child support for two children and one of the children wants to go live with hime, how does that effect the child support? Does he still pay for the one child that is still living with me?

Also, is there a legal form that I can fill out to change the visitation, primary residence, and all the other items that need to be addressed do the living arrangement change.

Re: change in court order

Generally speaking, He is going to be required to pay child support for the child that lives primarily with you; and you will be required to pay child support for the child that lives with primarily with him.

There is not really a form to do this. You are probably going to need an attorney to help with a new parenting plan and support arrangement.

Best of luck and Happy New Year.
