Child Custody and Support - As enacted, requires a court to consider the extent to which a parenting schedule provides each parent a meaningful opportunity to participate in the child's life, consistent with the child's best interest, in addition to the other relevant factors, when making a child custody determination. - Amends TCA Title 36 and Title 37.

HB 590 would increase the frequency of required communication between non-custodial parents and their children in Tennessee. Specifically, it amends state law to allow parents without physical custody to have unimpeded phone or video calls with their child three times per week (up from twice weekly), provided both parties have access to the necessary technology. This change directly affects parents and children involved in custody arrangements under Tennessee Code Annotated Titles 36 and 37. The bill focuses solely on adjusting communication frequency without altering other custody or support provisions.
