HB2429

Tennessee HB2429 mandates parent educational seminars for unwed parents in custody and visitation cases.

Tennessee HB2429 amends Tennessee Code to require parents in custody or visitation cases to attend a four-hour educational seminar. This applies to cases involving unwed parents, both at the time of parentage adjudication and in subsequent modifications. The seminar covers topics like adverse childhood experiences, co-parenting skills, and the judicial process. The court may waive the requirement if good cause exists, such as domestic violence or impracticality. Seminar fees are the responsibility of the parents, with potential waivers for indigent parents.
