A: The move, by itself will not cause the support to change. However, if by moving to TN, he is able to spend more time with the children, and the parenting time schedule changes, then that could be the basis/reason for the child support to be re-calculated. The Tennessee child support guidelines take into consideration the number of days each parent has wit the children as part of the formula for setting child support.
