You have not said how you pay your child support. If there is a child support order one wonders why there is not also a visitation schedule and why you have not been spending time with your child all along. You need to speak with an advocate at the family court that issued the child support order and explain your situation. It is against the law for one parent to prevent the other parent from contact with the child if a court has jurisdiction over the case and there is no court order preventing visitations.
absolutely
you dont! Just pay for the child!
Technically you can not beat child support unless you are sincerly unable to aford to pay or are in Prison for a national defence.
If you are an absent parent of the child, yes.
depending on law...DONT KNOW DONT CARE ABOUT YOU!
Absolutely...there is no safe haven in the United States for those who dont pay child support, nor should there be. Oh and before anyone comes at me with "you obviously dont know what its like not to be able to find employment and pay child support" well I am way behind and cant find a job myself, but some way I am going to get it paid!
i dont think i should answer that.....
No because you dont pay tax on child support
Custody (in theory at least) is based on the child's best interest. "So you don't have to pay child support" is not going to strike any judge as an argument in the child's best interest.
Yes
Yes, but you should not have to pay support for any period prior to your knowledge of the child.
Yes. You must file for visitation/custody in the same court that issued the child support order.
