This isn't the kind of question anyone can answer very well without knowing a lot more about the situation. I'm not a Tennessee lawyer, and there differences in law between states might make a difference in this one as well. So you need to get all the facts in front of an attorney in your area, one who does divorce and child custody cases, for good advice about what to do next. You can find qualified lawyers in a number of places, including our website, http://attorneypages.com
Ordinarily, the courts don't usually listen to a 3-year-old. But if there's a history of abuse or neglect, and there's reason to believe that the mother isn't ready for this, the court will at least take a look at the situation.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The Answer(s) provided above are for general information only. The attorney providing the answer was not serving as the attorney for the person submitting the question or in any attorney-client relationship with such person. Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved. Unlike the information in the Answer(s) above, upon which you should NOT rely, for personal advice you can rely upon we suggest you retain an attorney to represent you.
