He may have his visitation modified or rights to visitation terminated by the courts if his absence becomes chronic and the custodial parent files a motion for such based on the same. Also, child support may be increased in favor of the custodial parent due to increased parenting time.
yes.
Child support and visitation are two separate issues. The father has the right to request a visitation schedule with his child. Visitation is not dependent on paying child support.
The law does not require a father to be involved with his child. On the other hand, a father who wants visitation will almost certainly get it, altho it can be supervised or otherwise restricted if evidence suggests that the father should not be alone with the child.
Unless you show cause that its in the best interest of the child not to see his father. For example if father has a violent record I doubt they will grant visitation. Also you can ask for monitored visitation.
How does he have any visitation rights with a custody and child support order?
Yes. If there is a visitation order.Yes. If there is a visitation order.Yes. If there is a visitation order.Yes. If there is a visitation order.
This is a touchy issue. I am assuming that the child's father has visitation rights to the child. If that is the case, and the threats are physical in nature, a restraining order might be the answer. This would protect both you and the child from being in the same place at the same time as the girlfriend In other words, she could not be present during visitation thus avoiding a conflict with you or the child.
no
Not automatically, but the father certainly has a right to move for visitation and, ordinarily, it should be granted.
Visitation is not based on any particular age.
It depends on the state. I know it Tx once paternity is established that the father has the right to request visitation through the courts. The judge will take into account that they have never met. Mostly likely, If the father does not present a threat to the child he will be granted some sort of visitation. If visitation is denied by the mother she could face criminal charges. By filing child support you are establishing paternity and giving the child's father all the rights as an unwed father.
The child is always free to express their wishes, either in court or by writing a letter to the judge in charge of their custody/visitation. If the judge feels the child provides valid reasons why they no longer wish to visit their father, the visitation order may be modified. However, court ordered visitation must continue until that happens, if it happens. Otherwise, the mother could be found in contempt of court and fined or even jailed for their child's failure to obey court ordered visitation.
