Good afternoon,

Just wanted to say "Hi." New to this site, but not new to poly.

We are a TN triad (though this is the wife of the triad's account), not sure if the GF or DH will be creating accounts.

Looking forward to meeting everyone and reading the threads.
 
Greetings happytriad,
Welcome to our forum. Please feel free to lurk, browse, etc.

I have enjoyed your posts so far, and am sure I'll enjoy reading more. Finally we're seeing examples of triads that work. I appreciate your contribution.

Sincerely,
Kevin T., "official greeter" :)

Notes:

There's a *lot* of good info in Golden Nuggets. Have a look!

Please read through the guidelines if you haven't already.

Note: You needn't read every reply to your posts, especially if someone posts in a disagreeable way. Given the size and scope of the site it's hard not to run into the occasional disagreeable person. Please contact the mods if you do (or if you see any spam), and you can block the person if you want.

If you have any questions about the board itself, please private-message a mod and they'll do their best to help.

Welcome aboard!
 
Thank you so much for the welcome :)
 
Welcome! My poly V is thinking of moving to TN eventually. What area are you in - how are the poly laws near you? Do you have a good support group?

We are near nashville. Honestly I have no idea what poly laws are here though I'd assume not good since we are in the heart of the bible belt. We haven't ever been to a poly meet up but there are several near us so support groups are around. Just haven't went yet.

Well, from what I've read online, TN made our short list for a neutral poly state - meaning no fornication laws, no cohabitation laws and no common law marriage statutes on the books. We live together, so we want to make sure there isn't something glaring we're missing.

Thanks for responding though! :)
 
You are right. There are non of those that I know of but there are adultery laws. And from what I've read. The spouse that does not initiate the relationship can claim adultery laws broke even if they were involved in the triad. And even though there are no laws preventing polyamory there are no laws that I have found that protect it either. Things like child custody could be left up to a judge's opinion and not on the law. I don't remember the site but there was a women who's children were taken away by in laws in tn because of her polyamory relationships. The judge deemed it immoral. She did get her kids back thank goodness but because there wasn't a law that protected her choice to be polamorous she lost custody for a while which is so sad. I found that article by googling child custody polyamory laws tn (I believe). We have never had any trouble legally being poly.
 
Welcome to the board, happytriad. Thank you, personally, for creating your own account as one specific member of your group! I was already getting you mixed up with AustinTriad, who seem to be trying to post as a group mind of three, very confusing. Glad I found your intro which makes it clear you are posting as an individual.
 
My youngest is 17 so I am not too concerned with child custody. :) welcome to the board!
 
@magdyl- no problem at all and thank you for the welcome

@bluebird - we have a younger kiddo and with the grandparents not agreeing with our relationship it's something I have to consider and one reason we are thinking of moving to a state that would allow even more protection for us in regards to the kiddo but on a plus side I have spoken with an attorney before that basically said it would be very hard for someone to win a case against us. It's possible because there aren't laws that protect us specifically but it would be extremely hard for someone to take kids away in TN based solely on the fact we are poly.
 
Hello from a V in Nashville. We did attend a meetup a couple of times, but that particular one just wasn't our scene so much. Since then we have met and befriended other poly people in the area. There are more poly people here in Nashville than one might think, and it's only growing.
