Am I Required to Give My Ex-Husband My Address to Comply With Visitation?
Full Question:
Answer:
The answer will depend on the terms of the parenting plan. I suggest you read its terms carefully to determine your obligation to supply your address. There is no provision in TN statutes requiring the address of a parent to be supplied.
Please see the following TN statute:
36-6-502. Compliance with visitation orders; enforcement.
(a) In all cases where visitation is ordered, both parents shall comply
with such order of visitation by turning over custody of the child on the
days and at the times so ordered by the court and by picking up the child
and returning the child on the days and at the times so ordered by the
court.
(b) An order of visitation may be enforced by using the license
revocation, denial or suspension procedures provided in this part and any
other sanctions deemed appropriate by the court.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, if the driver
license of a parent is currently canceled, suspended or revoked pursuant
to title 55, chapter 10, part 4, or title 55, chapter 50, part 5, and, if
such parent personally drives a motor vehicle to the location where the
parent is scheduled to take custody of a child pursuant to a valid order
of visitation or parenting plan, then the parent or other person having
custody of the child may refuse to turn over custody of the child under
the circumstances and such refusal shall not constitute a violation of
subsection (a).
