How does joint custody affect child support in Georgia?
It depends on the type of joint custody. Custody is broken down into two subcategories- legal and physical. Legal custody is the ability to make decisions concerning the child and to act on the child's behalf. Physical custody is who the child lives with. Typically unless the child spends exactly 50 percent of the time with each parent, one parent is considered to have primary custody and the other parent to have secondary custody or visitation rights. Child support is based on who has primary physical custody, and that parent is typically awarded child support from the parent who has the child less since having the child more usually means that you provide for more of their needs as well.
Father of a child who does not have primary custody only joint is taking the child to NC for a vacation on his weekend he refused the primary parent any information agreement was made in CT legal?
Read your custody agreement. Everything that governs, or limits, the 'right' of the non-custodial parent during his visitation should be set forth in the custody agreement. If it isn't set forth in the custody agreement then there is no limitation on him. It is, I agree, pretty callous to just take the child off out of state and not give you any contact information. If the custody agreement limits what he can do and where he can go with the child, you could take him back to court asking for the court to find him in contempt of the order, and possibly request further limitations on his visitation.

Can you keep the father of your child from having visitation rights and still collect child support?

Such matters are decided by the court if the parents cannot find an equitable solution.
Can a father pick up a child from the babysitter without mothers permission?
If you do not have any custody papers that state specific visitation, then yes he can in most states. If there are no court orders, in most places he has the same rights you do. If you have papers saying that he can only have the child on certain days or times, and he is outside of that regulation, he may be interfering with child custody.
Does the father have to see the child if they will not pay child support?
Regardless of whether child support has been paid, the NCP has the right to visitation as it is designated in the custody agreement, even if the custodial parent has "sole custody". The father should refer to his custody order for the child(ren). Depending on the division of custody, the noncustodial parent's (NCP) can vary, but it most always is spelled out, such as just as an example- Father shall have every other weekend starting at 6pm to Sunday at 6pm and the following holidays: etc. etc..: The NCP (father in this situation) can take the issue to court to petition against the CP (mother here) for withholding visitation. In this situation, the NCP should continue to pay the child support faithfully and punctually as while this is NOT suppose to factor into visitation, it does look good when standing in front of the judge.
How do you fight for visitation if you live in another state. My wife filed for divorce while I was out of state to find work and doesn't want me to have visitation?
You go to court in the jurisdiction where the child legally resides and file for an order of visitation. Just because your wife filed for divorce, custody/visitation/child support are separate issues and may be modified at the request of either parent at any time. Consult an attorney with specialization in family law in the state of jurisdiction for assistance (ideally), or go the the court of jurisdiction for the proper forms, fill them out, pay the filing fee and wait for your court hearing.
I am currently pregnant and plan to raise my child alone. Can the father win joint custody of this child if he has another child whom he only has partial custody?
The father has as much legal right to the child as you do. You cannot simply choose to raise the child alone if the father has a desire to be involved in the child's life. As long as the courts don't find him to be a danger to the child, he will at least be awarded visitation and at most partial custody. In regards to the other child, the judge will definitely take that into consideration. If he can show that he's providing good quality care to the other child, it will stand as proof that he is qualified to raise a child. If the quality of care he's providing is poor, it might hinder his case. It's entirely up to a judge.
Can you file for full custody for your child if his mother is filing for bankruptcy?

You could find yourself in trouble if you removed a child from a state where the other parent has rights and court orders are in existence.The Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act was enacted in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and the Virgin Islands. In 1980 the federal government enacted the Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act, to address interstate custody problems that continued to exist after the adoption of the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act. The Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act mandates that state authorities give full faith and credit to other States' custody determinations, so long as those determinations were made in conformity with the provisions of the Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act.These acts are interpreted differently in different states but were intended to avoid conflicting child custody orders.
