What Tennessee expects
Tennessee requires a Permanent Parenting Plan on the state's own form in every case with minor children — it must designate a primary residential parent, allocate residential time by day count, and specify a dispute-resolution process.
Governing law: Tenn. Code Ann. § 36-6-404.
Tennessee requires its own form — Permanent Parenting Plan Order. Agree your terms first, then transcribe them onto it.
The honest trade-off
Exchanges land on the same two days every week, which makes it easy to remember, and no one waits more than four nights. The trade is that which parent has the weekend flips each week, so weekend plans need a two-week memory.
