How is child support figured for unmarried parents if the father has no work and the mother is still studying?

That is up to the child's parents to figure out. The father can do yard work and odd jobs to earn money to support his child. The mother can find part time jobs outside of school hours and they both can share child care.That is up to the child's parents to figure out.

Do you have to let your daughters dad visit my daughter?

You do have to let your daughter's dad visit your daughter. Interfering with a parent's right to see their child is a huge deal. If you make a habit of it, you'll end up in a lot of trouble, and can even lose custody of the child. As a mother, you have no more right to the child than the father does.


Were married and my wife has a child and im in the military but the child's father doesnt want her to take the child can she move?

If there is a court order for visitation or shared custody and child support she will need his and the courts permission. The visitation order still have to work since both him and his child have the right to see each other. So she can move but not with the child.
