Tennessee makes changes to Child Support Guidelines
May 11, 2020
Nashville, TN – The Tennessee Department of Human Services (TDHS) is implementing revised child support guidelines this week that will help align all child support orders with changing family economics, improve the system for both custodial and noncustodial parents, and meet new federal requirements.
These are the first major changes to Tennessee’s child support guidelines since 2005.
Revised rules recognize the needs of low-income mothers and fathers and provide better support for incarcerated parents to fulfill their child support obligations.
