(d)(1) When the court enters an order in which the paternity of a child is determined or support is ordered, enforced or modified for a child, each individual who is a party to any action pursuant to this part shall be immediately required to file with the court and, if the case is a Title IV-D child support case, shall immediately file with the local Title IV-D child support office, (for entry into the state registry of support cases), and shall update, as appropriate, the parties' (and, for subdivisions (d)(1)(A)-(C), the child's or children's):

The requirements of this subdivision may be included in the court's order.

At the time of the entry of the first order pertaining to child support after July 1, 1997, clear written notice shall be given to each party of the requirements of this subsection, procedures for complying with the subsection and a description of the effect or failure to comply. Such requirement may be noted in the order of the court.
(3) In any subsequent child support enforcement action, the delivery of written notice as required by Rule 5 of the Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure to the most recent residential or employer address shown in the court's records or the Title IV-D agency's records as required in subdivision (d)(1) shall be deemed to satisfy due process requirements for notice and service of process with respect to that party if there is a sufficient showing and the court is satisfied that a diligent effort has been made to ascertain the location and whereabouts of the party.
(e) Upon motion of either party, upon a showing of domestic violence or the threat of such violence, the court may enter an order to withhold from public access the address, telephone number, and location of the alleged victim(s) or threatened victim(s) of such circumstances. The clerk of the court shall withhold such information based upon the court's specific order but may not be held liable for release of such information.
