Amends TCA Title 34, Chapter 1; Title 36, Chapter 5 and Title 37, Chapter 1.

Tennessee HB2443 amends existing laws regarding parental support obligations by stipulating that a parent's financial responsibility for a child ceases once the child turns 19 years old, except in cases where the child is handicapped or disabled. This bill affects parents with children nearing or over the age of 19, as well as children who may require continued support due to disabilities. The key provision is the explicit age limit for support obligations, which is a change from previous regulations that may have allowed for extended support under different circumstances.
