Asked in Family Law and Child Custody for Tennessee

Q: I have concerns about visitations resuming with NCP in TN.

I have had custody of 13y/o daughter since 2013, NCP recently relapsed and is back in rehab. I have questions about visitations now as she lost her home and states visits have to be at her parents again. However, visits at her parents are part of the reason our child ended up inpatient at psychiatric hospital. During hospitalization our child said she couldn't keep doing the visits at grandparents for her mental health.

2nd, I just found out this afternoon from our child that NCP has been purchasing her vapes for several months now. The vapes were thrown away and I only have our childs word. I'm even more worried now for our child's well being when visits are supposed to resume whenever NCP is released from rehab.

What can I do?
