Do you have to take your kids for out of state visitation if your ex is thousands of dollars behind in child support?
If there is a court order for visitation privileges it must be obeyed. Visitation and child support are treated as two entirely different issues. Just as an obligated parent is in contempt of a court order when they do not pay the mandated child support a custodial parent could be in contempt for not adhering to the visitation terms.
Can a custodial parent stop the non-custodial parents visitation if they are behind on child support?
No, they are separate issues. If the custodial parent stops visitations they would be in violation of a court order. The custodial parent must address the child support arrears as a separate matter by filing a contempt order with the court.

How can you keep from going to jail if you are behind on child support payments?
Catch up on your child support payments.
What actions can be taken on a non-custodial father who is behind on child support and he is out running the streets on drugs?
He can be subsequently jailed for drug charges and that he's an endangerment to his children due to the choice of lifestyle. Liens can be placed on property of value like his car or anything of value to get the behind child support. * Child support arrearages is a civil matter and has nothing to do with the alledged drug activities. Recovery of child support arrearages and enforcement of child support orders can be done in two ways, by the custodial parent filing a lawsuit in the state circuit court in the county of residence or by enlisting the assistance of the state's child support enforcement agency. If the father has visitation or custodial rights and he is placing the child in jeopardy by his lifestyle the custodial parent should request an investigation by the state's department of child protective services.
Can a father win custody if he is behind in child support?
it all depends on state that you live in, however, a father has a right to see his children despite his history of child support payments. the mother cannot legally refuse to allow the father to the child or children due to lack of support, unless there is a court order or restraining order that legally allows her to withold visitation. Paying child support and visitation rights have nothing to do with each other.Just because you dont/do pay child support doesnt mean you can/cannot visit your child
Is child support in Texas retroactive?
Yes. Here is the link to read on this yourself. http://www.oag.state.tx.us/cs/parents/faq.shtml#behind Yes if the child support is behind since the court date and the date the Child Support was entered into court, then that past due child support is to be paid by the non custodial parent. Usually it is more then the normal monthly or weekly payment such as: The non custodial parent owes 200.00 a week in child support payments. But is behind 2000.00 dollars. So the Child Support Enforcement will send you 250.00 dollars a week, if you are not collecting any welfare support for your child, TANF or Food Stamps and are working steady.. IF the non custodial parent gets a lump sum payment of any sort, lottery winnings, Federal and State Taxes.. that will go to you for the behind amount owed. So yes. It is retroactive though you will not get it until the child support is paid by the non custodial parent pays. And this is in most states not just Texas.
Do you have to pay child support if you file for visitation rights?
Yes. Children are not for sale or barter. You have a right to visitation even if you don't pay child support - one has nothing to do with the other. Of course if you go to court and petition for visitation, you will get it, but they will also notice that you are deliquent and, as a separate matter, expect you to pay it. You can face jail time if you are too far behind.
Are black swallowers dangerous to people?
They can be if you are behind on child support payments.
How much child support do you have to be behind in order to get denied?
Child support should not be tied to visitation. However, I notice that it takes a lot of will and fortitude to overlook the fact if the non-custodial parent does not help pay for necessities. The breakup of the relationship is just that--it is so much less than ownership of the child and acts of coercion due to the breakup.
If you owe child support will you get presidents refund?
No, the state will take it for back child support. If you are not behind in your support payments, you might get the refund.
The Basics of Child Support?
Divorce, separation or single parenthood may lead a court to order the non-custodial parent (the parent who does not live in the same home as the child) to pay child support to the custodial parent. There are less frequent situations where both parents pay child support to the child's legal guardian. In either case, support should be provided to a child for his or her proper care. Child support regulation is an important social issue because of the rise in divorces and the number of children being raised in single parent households. State child support enforcement agencies have taken an active role in pursuing payments from non-custodial parents.The agency works with family court to issue a child support order. The amount of the support payment is based on the guidelines in the state, which is determined by the income of the non-custodial and the number of children for which child support is sought. The court will also consider the custodial parent's income. Extenuating circumstances may lead to a deviation of the guidelines in the court. A custodial parent who has a high income does not mean child support is not paid; the child has a right to benefit from the income of both parents. Child support payments can increase for cost of living adjustments or if the custodial parent's income decreases. Conversely, payments can decrease if circumstances change for the non-custodial parent.Joint CustodyBoth parents are considered custodial parents when a child spends equal time with both, typically six months per year with each. It is not uncommon for the court to still require one parent to pay child support, especially when there is an income disparity between the parents. For example, if one spouse stayed at home during the marriage and the other earned a six figure income, the stay-at-home parent could not meet daily expenses without financial support.Enforcing Child Support OrdersViolating a court order to pay child support payments can lead to state and federal government enforcement techniques. One of the most common techniques is a wage deduction order. Employers are ordered by the court to send a portion of the non-custodial parent's wages to the state agency that administers child support payments. The money is forwarded to the custodial parent. Wage deduction orders are used to collect current and past due child support payments.Federal and state tax refunds can be intercepted if a parent falls behind in child support payments. In some cases, liens are placed on real estate or automobiles to collect past due child support payment.
