Tennessee HB2584 prohibits delaying divorce proceedings due to pregnancy unless parentage and parenting plans are determined.

Tennessee HB2584 amends the state's divorce laws to ensure that a divorce proceeding cannot be stayed or delayed due to the pregnancy of one party. This applies if the court can determine or both parties agree on whether the other party is the parent of the unborn child and, if applicable, on an agreed parenting plan and child support order. This act becomes effective immediately upon becoming law.
