Q: If there is no parenting plan or custody order, do I need to let the others parent know that I’m moving?
This will be to a new city within the same state?
A: In Tennessee, if there is no existing parenting plan or custody order in place, and you plan to move to a new city within the same state, you may not be legally required to inform the other parent about the move. However, it is generally advisable to communicate openly and honestly with the other parent about your intentions to foster a cooperative and amicable co-parenting relationship. Even without a formal custody arrangement, maintaining transparent communication can help build trust and avoid potential conflicts. If both parents can reach an agreement regarding the move and its impact on visitation or custody, it may contribute to a smoother co-parenting experience.
