Metropolitan Nashville & Davidson County
Juvenile Court Parentage Team
Our three Parentage Courts are federally funded by Title IV-D of the Social Security Act. Upon establishment of parentage, the court will issue an order for parentage which includes the following: Establishment of paternity and parenting responsibilities, current child support and retroactive support, assurance of medical insurance, birth expenses, visitation schedule, name change (under certain circumstances), and provisions for custody. The Parentage Team also hears modification or enforcement of payment on child support and assurance of medical insurance, visitation, and custody. Child Support Services provides DNA testing and legal services to both custodial and non-custodial parents.
