Types of custody that Tennessee child custody laws facilitate The typical types of custody that is granted in Tennessee are no different from those of many other states. Physical custody has to do with the day-to-day care of the child while legal custody has to do with the decision making for the child. Sole or joint types can be applied to either of these two types of custody. Tennessee child custody laws aim to put co-parents in control. Tennessee family courts most often prefer that co-parents reach an agreement outside of the courtroom to determine their own custody arrangement.
