    Default Which State to File for Custody

    My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Tennessee A friend of mine currently lives in Tennessee with his two children. The childrens mother had the children with her in Kentucky which is where they had lived together. She was recently incarcerated in Virginia at which time the children moved with their dad in Tennessee. He has not lived there very long but would like to know which state he needs to file for custody at Tennessee or Kentucky?

    They had lived in Kentucky around 4 years. They have been in Tennessee with their dad since July. The Mom only got sentenced to 9 months on drug charges but the dad wants to file for custody so she cant take them back into that life.

    Did mom move to Virginia? How did she end up there?

    Are there any current court orders for custody, visitation or child support?

    Mother was caught in Virginia and was arrested so she was incarcerated in Virginia. Before she was incarcerated she had the children with her in Kentucky and father was paying child support and had visitation. When she went to prison the children went to live with the father and Kentucky stopped the child support order.

    He will then need to file in Kentucky if that is where the current orders originate. They are not current residents of Tennessee just yet.
