In all U.S. states the biological unwed mother is considered to have sole legal and physical custody of her child.

If the biological father wishes to assert his parental rights he must first establish paternity to the child in question and petition the court for visitation privileges or custodial rights. If the mother wishes to pursue child support for the minor child she must show proof of paternity (signed birth certificate, or notarized affidavit for the father).

It is the responsibility of the alledged father to prove he is or is not the biological father of the child, regarding custody, visitation and/or obligation of financial support.

No, the determining factor in all custodial cases is what is in the best interest of the child. If the biological father was not legally married to the child's mother it would be extremely difficult for him to obtain full custodial rights regardless of his marital state.

Do you still have to pay child support if your child is not attending school or is not being homeschooled in the state of Tennessee?

You continue to pay support until otherwise ordered by the court. If the parent moved out of state without court permission or in violation of a custody order interfering with the non-custodial parent's visitation rights, the non-custodial parent may file an action against the custodial parent for the same, or file for a modification in visitation, forcing the custodial parent to return the child for visitation as outlined in the original order.
