As a father if you have sole physical custody of your child you can ask the court to have your ex, pay child support to you, and the same would go for her. It is who ever has the most physical custody of the child and also if that person asks the court for child support payments. Answer #2 Yes you do have a say in your child's religion if you have any legal custody of your child. Find out through your court more information about this.
Whatever the court documents give him. Not paying child support does not automatically remove any rights from him.
If the mother is the custodial parent and the father is sending someone else to pick up the child for him when it's his turn to have visitation then yes, she can say no. She can not however decide who the child sees when the child is with the father.
Answer That depends on what a court will say.
Just to say that someone is a alcoholic is very vague. You need proof to present in court that he is and that he is neglecting the child.
same as a father under the same conditions. What the court orders say.
You have to do what the court tells you to do so if that is what they say you do it. Otherwise you are breaking the law and can lose custody.
A court order for child support is not a court order for visitation. These are 2 different issues and needs to be petitioned for separately. If there is a court order for visitation she can not say no without breaking it and can then be reported to the court and even lose custody if repeated. Child support is not a must for visitation. The court cares about the child having the right to both parents so if one can not pay at the moment does not mean they are not allowed to see each other. There is after all many mothers on welfare so technically they can not pay for their child either but they have custody. If there is no court order I suggest you go to court to get one.
No they can't but most of them do. Most babysitters/child minders will charge you when your children are not with them as a way of earning extra monay and if you try to take them to court they will probably say they were expecting your child and it was up to you to notify them of the child's un attendance.
That is dependent on the court orders, but generally yes.
Legally, it would depend on the exact legislation. Morally, almost certainly
The only time you can take a father off of child support is if the mother agrees with it, but that rarely happens, so I'm going to have to say no, it's very rare, the closest you can get to not paying AT ALL, is reducing the pay .
