No, both biological parents must be notified of a custody hearing. However, if the parent who the child does not reside with does not appear in court on the date of the hearing they may lose their custodial rights by default. If child support has been ordered by the court the issue of custody would have already been decided.

Sure. Judges can rule in many different ways depending on the circumstances. What a judge is most likely to do is award child support to the parent with primary physical custody. But there are always exceptions to every rule.

This depends on what is in your custody agreement. Usually, the custodial parent may do anything he/she pleases and simply transfer and payments the non-custodial parent is making to their current residence if moving out of state. However, if it is decreed in the court records that you should not take the minor out of state, this would not be that case.

One advantage to soul custody w/ no stipulations is that you may move wherever you like and tak the child with you; if the non-custodial parent wants to make arrangements to see the child or attempt custody of the child they must do so in the place of the child's residence, wherever that may be.

No, child support and child visitation are two different matters. Neither a father nor a mother can be denied visitation based on the fact that they are not paying child support.

What rights does a father paying child support have if the mother won't let him see his child?

You need to talk to a lawyer to hammer this out. Theoretically you can be required to pay child support but also not have visitation rights; it depends on the custody arrangement you have with the child's mother. If you don't have a custody arrangement, then the lawyer can help you set one up.


If a 15-year-old moves to California to live with her mother after living with her 11-year-old brother and father for 4 years in Washington and her brother stays in WA how does child support work?

If your father was given total custody of you and your brother then he could go to court to get you back. However, (and you would have to ask your mother this) if your mother and father have joint custody (such as you or your brother seeing your mother on spring break or other holidays) then child support would continue as was instructed by the courts. If your father had total custody and your mother never saw you, then she could file for partial child support. I know it's confusing, but simply put, if your father doesn't pay your mother child support she should see at least Child Welfare regarding this matter and your father should be paying her some child support regarding you. Good luck hon Marcy
