How Can I Get or Give Power of Attorney for a Minor Child?
If a parent is unable to take care of their child for a period of time, Tennessee law allows them to temporarily give another adult the authority to do so. This is done through a Power of Attorney for Care of a Minor Child.
If you’re paying child support or receiving child support with a court order, that order can be modified in some cases.
