What is the fathers rights to child if he is not on the birth certificate and has established a relationship with the child?
The right to petition for custody or visitation and the right to pay support. [Paternity must be established before any discussion of rights or responsibilities.]
If the father of a child gets married and owes back child support can the spouse be obligated to pay his back child support in CA?
An unmarried father cannot "choose" to not pay child support. The laws in every state require that a father pay for the support of his child. The mother must bring an action to the appropriate court so that a child support order can be established. Visitation rights are separate and a father can have visitation rights established by the court. Visitation rights are not dependent on paying child support.
Does the father have to have visitation rights in order for the mother to get child support?
Child support and visitation rights are two separate issues and they are addressed separately. The father's paternity must be legally established in court if the parents are unmarried and the mother seeks child support. Once paternity has been established, the court will issue a child support order based on state child support guidelines. In addition, once paternity has been established the father has the right to petition for a visitation schedule. If the father fails to pay his child support he is still entitled to visitations. In that case, the mother would need to pursue the child support arrears by filing a motion for contempt of the child support order.
How old does the newborn have to be before visitation is established in child support?
That's interpretive, but it should be no more so than when a parent would allow a a sitter or day care to take the child.
If the mother will not let you see your child do you have to pay child support?
Yes you have to continue to pay child support. If you have an established standing court order for custody/visitation you can file a violation of that order with the court in the jurisdiction the order was established. If you do not have a custody/visitation order I would suggest you get one in your jurisdiction ASAP.

Who pays child support when no legal custody has been established?
Determining child support has only one goal which is to determine medical, financial and daycare support. Custody is NOT determined when child support is established. To establish child support you have to go to court. Otherwise if the mother was unwed and paternity/custody is not established she automatically has sole custody which entitles you to pay her child support but you are not entitled to visitation, school/dr records etc unless she gives them to you... If custody is not established then the mother has custody
Does a parent paying child support have automatic rights to the child?
In general, no. Child Support and Custody/Visitation are separate issues and addressed in separate court orders. A parent who is under a child support order must petition the court for a visitation schedule. For more accurate information please specify your jurisdiction.
