Insurance company guidelines differ but you should be able to find an insurance provider in Tennessee that will permit you to exclude your wife from your auto insurance policy if you wish to. When buying, choose the option to not include that motorist on the insurance policy and choose the appropriate exclusion options to get an accurate insurance rate.
Make sure that if you did exclude your wife then none of the coverages under your auto insurance would extend to her in any way if she was to operate the vehicle(s) listed on your insurance policy and cause an accident. So even in an emergency situation she should not operate your vehicles.
Whether family or household or named-driver exclusions are allowed in Tennessee has gone to the courts on various occasions. On the court cases I have read about the courts have found that these types of exclusions in auto liability insurance policies do not violate TN law or public policy.

Reader’s Question:
What is the court fine if you drive without car insurance in Memphis Tennessee?
Memphis, TN
The TN Department of Safety in Tennessee states that failure to show proof of financial responsibility is a Class C misdemeanor whose penalty is a fine of not more than $100. Once the state is informed of a conviction for this offense, the violators driver’s license will be suspended.
In addition to that, a stop will be placed against the car’s registration of the motorist. If financial responsibility can be shown prior to the court date though they might be able to dismiss the charges, the motorist will need to submit proof of Financial Responsibility again to the Tennessee Financial Responsibility Division before their registration is renewed.
