The father has the right to see the child whether or not he pays child support. Child Support and Visitation are two separate issues. One does not depend on the other. The parties are required to obey both court orders.
No, the court can force the non custodial parent to financially support his or her minor children but it cannot force a parent to be involved in the child's life.
Generally, yes. Talk to your lawyer or the judge.
He's not paying for the right to see his child or for the child's right to see his father. He's paying for the upkeep of the child. Think of the message that will send to the child; If you father can not pay you have no right to see him. If he's not paying you have to go to court. Starting to mess with the custody agreement on your own will just cause trouble.
No. The mother has the right to know where the child is when she's not in her possession. In fact, the court would require it. What if something happened to the father while the child was with him? It would not be in the child's best interest for the father to be able to keep his whereabouts secret from the mother when the child is with him. Now that's a good recipe to cause strife.
You can't. The child has the right to be supported by her father and they both have the right to a relationship with each other. The father should pay child support and also have a regular visitation schedule.
In general, the oldest child's right to support is not affected by the existence of younger children.
It depends on the support agreement or court ordered agreement. Sometimes, the father can stop. Other times, the father still pays if the child goes to college. You need to check the documentation. If you don't want to ask a family member, go to the courthouse.
Child support and visitation are two separate issues. The father has the right to request a visitation schedule with his child. Visitation is not dependent on paying child support.
No.
Absolutley not.
yes, however if the father is paying child support, he has the right to add his.
He's not paying for the right to see his child or for the child's right to see his father. He's paying for the upkeep of the child. Think of the message that will send to the child; If you father can not pay you have no right to see him. If he's not paying you have to go to court. Starting to mess with the custody agreement on your own will just cause trouble.
If he's paying child support yes.
No, simple as that and a judge would very much disapprove of this practice.
Payment of child support does not automatically confer a right to visitation. I suggest that you file a motion in the appropriate court to compel visitation.SEE LINKS BELOW
Yes. see linksAns 2.The father has the option to waive his rights if he wants to, and if he can convince the judge that he is sane, sober and not under coercion as he does so.This has nothing at all to do with child support, which is not his right, but his responsibility. In general the mother can't waive child support either, because support is her child's right, not hers.THAT IS CORRECT.....unless the child's mother has re-married and her husband wants to adopt this child, that would release the biological father from paying child support.
In states like Kansas, in order to have the right to challenge a child being put up for adoption, soon after being born, the potential father must begin paying Child Support 18-Weeks into the Pregnancy. But, if the potential father begins paying, and later learns he's not the father of the child, he must continue paying in 20 states, and with limitations in those states that do allow men paying support to later challenge paternity.see links
Yes, the right of a parent to be in his or her child's life has nothing to with whether or not he or she is paying child support. The court sees them as two entirely different issues.
No. The mother has the right to know where the child is when she's not in her possession. In fact, the court would require it. What if something happened to the father while the child was with him? It would not be in the child's best interest for the father to be able to keep his whereabouts secret from the mother when the child is with him. Now that's a good recipe to cause strife.
