I don't practice family law and actively avoid it. I also don't practice in Tennessee, but, this sounds like a bad deal all around. The key paragraph I think is here.

In July 2010, his parents finalized their divorce. Stacy Miller was represented at the time by attorney Keith Pope, who would later admit he was addicted to cocaine. She signed a parenting agreement at the behest of Pope that gave both her and her ex-husband "joint decision making" on matters including "religious upbringing."

Considering that he's an Episcopalian and she's a Baptist, that's going to be a major conflict.

I sympathize with Stacy Miller and Holland. Bad counsel can do a number on one's life.

Not really; the TM Constitution makes such agreement null and void: Art 1, Sec 3.
{Hint: because such agreement denied the right of the son to worship God “according to the dictates of his conscience;” and also because the enforcement of it would be reliant on a “human authority.”}
