2021 Tennessee Code|Title 37 - Juveniles|Chapter 1 - Juvenile Courts and Proceedings|Part 1 - General Provisions|§ 37-1-125. Party Served by Publication — Provisional Hearing — Interlocutory Order

  If, after reasonable effort, a party cannot be found, or the party's postal address cannot be ascertained, regardless of whether the party is within this state, the court may order service of the summons upon the party by publication in accordance with §§ 21-1-203 and 21-1-204. The published summons shall indicate the general nature of the allegations and where a copy of the petition may be obtained. The hearing shall not be earlier than five (5) days after the date of the last publication.   If service of summons upon a party is made by publication, the court may conduct a provisional hearing upon the allegations of the petition and enter an interlocutory order of disposition if the:  Petition alleges delinquency, unruly conduct, or dependency or neglect of the child;   Summons served upon any party:  States that prior to the final hearing on the petition designated in the summons a provisional hearing thereon will be held at a specified time and place;   Requires the party who is served other than by publication to appear and answer the allegations of the petition at the provisional hearing;   States further that findings of fact and orders of disposition made pursuant to the provisional hearing will become final at the final hearing unless the party served by publication appears at the final hearing; and   [Deleted by 2016 amendment.]     Child is personally before the court at the provisional hearing.     All provisions of this part applicable to a hearing on a petition, orders of disposition, and other proceedings dependent thereon, apply under this section, but findings of fact and orders of disposition have only interlocutory effect pending the final hearing on the petition. The rights and duties of the party served by publication are not affected, except as provided in subsection (d).   If the party served by publication fails to appear at the final hearing on the petition, the findings of fact and interlocutory orders made become final without further evidence and are governed by this part as if made at the final hearing. If the party appears at the final hearing, the findings and orders shall be vacated and disregarded and the hearing shall proceed upon the allegations of the petition without regard to this section.
TN Code § 37-1-127 (2021)
2021 Tennessee Code|Title 37 - Juveniles|Chapter 1 - Juvenile Courts and Proceedings|Part 1 - General Provisions|§ 37-1-127. Basic Rights at Hearing

  A party is entitled to the opportunity to introduce evidence and otherwise be heard in the party's own behalf and to cross-examine adverse witnesses.   A child charged with a delinquent act need not be a witness against self-interest or otherwise engage in self-incrimination.   An extra-judicial statement, if obtained in the course of violation of this part or that would be constitutionally inadmissible in a criminal proceeding, shall not be used against the child.   Evidence illegally seized or obtained shall not be received over objection to establish the allegations made against the child.   A confession validly made by a child out of court is insufficient to support an adjudication of delinquency unless it is corroborated in whole or in part by other evidence.   If a child is charged with a delinquent act that could qualify such child as a violent juvenile sexual offender, as defined by § 40-39-202, such child shall be given verbal and written notice of the violent juvenile sexual offender registration requirements prior to a hearing on whether the child committed such act.
TN Code § 37-1-133 (2021)
2021 Tennessee Code|Title 37 - Juveniles|Chapter 1 - Juvenile Courts and Proceedings|Part 1 - General Provisions|§ 37-1-133. Order of Adjudication — Noncriminal

  An order of disposition or other adjudication in a proceeding under this part is not a conviction of crime and does not impose any civil disability ordinarily resulting from a conviction or operate to disqualify the child in any state service or civil service application or appointment. A child shall not be committed or transferred to a penal institution or other facility used primarily for the execution of sentences of persons convicted of a crime, except as provided in § 37-1-134.   The disposition of a child and evidence adduced in a hearing in juvenile court may not be used against such child in any proceeding in any court other than a juvenile court, whether before or after reaching majority, except in dispositional proceedings after conviction of a felony for the purposes of a pre-sentence investigation and report.   A child found to be delinquent shall be exempt from the operation of laws applicable to infamous crimes, and such child shall not be rendered infamous by the judgment of the juvenile court in which such child is tried.

2021 Tennessee Code|Title 37 - Juveniles|Chapter 1 - Juvenile Courts and Proceedings|Part 1 - General Provisions|§ 37-1-135. Mentally Ill or Developmentally Disabled Child — Disposition

 If, at a dispositional hearing or at a hearing to transfer a child under § 37-1-134, there is reason to believe the child may be suffering from mental illness or is developmentally disabled, the court may proceed under § 37-1-128(d).

  The parent or other person who is the physical custodian of a juvenile shall reimburse the state for any expenses incurred by the state in returning such juvenile to the department if:  The juvenile is in the legal custody of the department of children's services;   The juvenile has been temporarily released for a definite period of time to the physical custody of such parent or custodian; and   The juvenile has not returned to the physical custody of the department at the time designated for such return in the temporary release.     The department shall notify the parent or other custodian of this liability prior to release of such juvenile.

2021 Tennessee Code|Title 37 - Juveniles|Chapter 1 - Juvenile Courts and Proceedings|Part 1 - General Provisions|§ 37-1-139. Modification of Orders

  Except as provided in § 36-1-113(q), an order of the court shall be set aside if it appears that:  It was obtained by fraud or mistake sufficient to satisfy the legal requirements in any other civil action;   The court lacked jurisdiction over a necessary party or of the subject matter; or   Newly discovered evidence so requires.     Except for an order terminating parental rights or an order of dismissal, an order of the court may be changed or modified:  Upon a finding of changed circumstances and that the change or modification is in the best interest of the child;   If the order contains clerical mistakes; or   If newly discovered evidence so requires.     In no event shall modification of an agreed order result in a child being placed into the custody of the department of children's services without the appropriate petition having been filed with the clerk of the court alleging the child to be dependent, neglected, abused, unruly, or delinquent. This subsection (c) shall not be construed as eliminating the judicial findings required for children in state custody by §§ 37-1-166 and 37-2-409 or as otherwise required by case law and federal regulations.

2021 Tennessee Code|Title 37 - Juveniles|Chapter 1 - Juvenile Courts and Proceedings|Part 1 - General Provisions|§ 37-1-140. Legal Custodian — Duties

  A custodian to whom legal custody has been given by the court under this part has the right to the physical custody of the child, the right to determine the nature of the care and treatment of the child, including ordinary medical care and the right and duty to provide for the care, protection, training and education, and the physical, mental and moral welfare of the child, subject to the conditions and limitations of the order and to the remaining rights and duties of the child's parents or guardian. A custodian is also responsible for providing notices as required in § 49-6-3051, to the principal of the school in which the child is enrolled.   As an alternative to a parent or guardian transferring legal custody pursuant to this section or as otherwise provided by law, a parent or guardian may temporarily provide for the care of a child by executing a power of attorney for care of a minor child, pursuant to the Power of Attorney for Care of a Minor Child Act, compiled in title 34, chapter 6, part 3.
TN Code § 37-1-141 (2021)
2021 Tennessee Code|Title 37 - Juveniles|Chapter 1 - Juvenile Courts and Proceedings|Part 1 - General Provisions|§ 37-1-141. Residence Change — Transfer of Jurisdiction to Another State

  If the court finds that a child who has been adjudged to have committed a delinquent act or to be unruly or dependent or neglected is or is about to become a resident of another state, the court may defer a hearing on need for the treatment or rehabilitation and disposition and request, by any appropriate means, the juvenile court of the county of the child's residence or prospective residence to accept jurisdiction of the child.   If the child becomes a resident of another state while on probation or under protective supervision under order of a juvenile court of this state, the court may request the juvenile court of the county of the state in which the child has become a resident to accept jurisdiction of the child and to continue the child's probation or protective supervision.   Upon receipt and filing of an acceptance, the court of this state shall transfer custody of the child to the accepting court and cause the child to be delivered to the person designated by that court to receive the child's custody. It also shall provide that court with certified copies of the order adjudging the child to be a delinquent, unruly or dependent or neglected child, of the order of transfer, and, if the child is on probation or under protective supervision under order of the court, of the order of disposition. It also shall provide that court with a statement of the facts found by the court of this state and any recommendations and other information it considers of assistance to the accepting court in making a disposition of the case or in supervising the child on probation or otherwise.   Upon compliance with subsection (c), the jurisdiction of the court of this state over the child is terminated.

  If a juvenile court of another state requests a juvenile court of this state to accept jurisdiction of a child found by the requesting court to have committed a delinquent act or to be an unruly or dependent or neglected child, and the court of this state finds, after investigation that the child is, or is about to become, a resident of the county in which the court presides, it shall promptly and not later than fourteen (14) days after receiving the request issue its acceptance in writing to the requesting court and direct its probation officer or other person designated by it to take physical custody of the child from the requesting court, and bring the child before the court of this state or make other appropriate provisions for the child's appearance before the court.   Upon the filing of certified copies of the orders of the requesting court:  Determining that the child committed a delinquent act or is an unruly or dependent or neglected child; and   Committing the child to the jurisdiction of the juvenile court of this state, the court of this state shall immediately fix a time for a hearing on the need for treatment or rehabilitation and disposition of the child or on the continuance of any probation or protective supervision.     The hearing and notice thereof and all subsequent proceedings are governed by this part. The court may make any order of disposition permitted by the facts and this part. The orders of the requesting court are conclusive that the child committed the delinquent act or is an unruly or dependent or neglected child and of the facts found by the court in making the orders, subject only to § 37-1-139. If the requesting court has made an order placing the child on probation or under protective supervision, a like order shall be entered by the court of this state.
