Absolutely not. Child visitation rights are granted by the court, not by you. It is illegal to prevent someone with legal visitation rights to see the child.

No. She has no legal responsibility to support the children. Only the biological parents have any responsibility for child support.

What do you about support when you are the non-custodial parent and the custodial parent wants to hand over the child to you?
They can't simply "give the child to you." You need to return to the court and have the custody order modified so you'll have legal custody. It will go easier if the current custodial parent consents to the modification. At that time the current support order should be terminated and you can request child support if you wish.

yes
If an adult child moves into her boyfriends' house does the custodial parent still get child support?
Unless there are unusually circumstances, once a minor becomes an adult under the laws of the state in which he or she lives (or as stated in the support order) child support ends. If he or she has established residence outside the custodial parent's home with the approval of the custodial parent, the obligated parent should petition the court to have the support order amended or rescinded. Child support money is for the support of minor children and not "owed" to the custodial parent. The custodial parent does have the legal right to sue the obligated parent for any arrearages or "extra" expenses incurred while the minor child was in his or her care.
What is required by law for the non custodial parent to provide in the household?

How long does a parent have to pay child support in Washington?
Child support obligations usually end for the non custodial parent once the child/children reach the legal age of majority for the state of residence. For Washington State that age is 18. However, an obligated parent should adhere to the terms of the child support order and not just the age at which the child becomes a legal adult.Child support obligationsmaycontinue past the state's age of majority for numerous reasons. It is always in the best interest of the non custodial parent to obtain legal advice before he or she ceases their support obligations.
Why does a non custodial parent pay for child support to the custodial parent when they live together?
Because you are not married and filed for child support. You have to pay child support to one parent and that has to be to the one with custody. If you both had 50/50 custody it could look differently but you only have visitation.

Is there a legal way to have my court ordered child support be paid directly to my child instead of the custodial parent?
No. The purpose of child support is to help pay the day to day costs of caring for a child. It can be used at the discretion of the custodial parent for rent, mortgage, utility bills, auto expenses, food, clothing, medical expenses, entertainment, educational needs, etc. You cannot pay it over to a child because it is a right owned by the custodial parent and the funds are the property of the custodial parent.
Can child support be established if father cannot be found in North Carolina?
The custodial parent or legal guardian should file the child support petition even if the whereabouts of the non custodial parent are currently unknown. This allows the petitioner to be in a position to collect all arrears of support once the absentee parent is located.
How do you get child support if the child lives in Georgia and the father lives in Tennessee?
The custodial parent or legal guardian files a lawsuit for child support in the state in which the minor child resides (in this case, Georgia). The non custodial parent will be served with a summons regardless of where he or she lives. Federal law mandates all U.S. states honor and enforce child support lawsuits and/or orders of support.
