Terms Used In Tennessee Code 24-5-112
- Common law: The legal system that originated in England and is now in use in the United States. It is based on judicial decisions rather than legislative action.
- Evidence: Information presented in testimony or in documents that is used to persuade the fact finder (judge or jury) to decide the case for one side or the other.
The present absolute common law presumption which prevails in Tennessee that men and women are presumed capable of having children as long as they live shall be only a prima facie presumption and rebuttable by competent evidence.
