In the US, child support and visitation are two separate things. You are legally responsible for financially supporting your child rather you have visitation or not. If your ex refuses to allow visitation then you need to petition for court-ordered visitation. If you obtain that and the ex still refuses, then s/he is in violation of a court order and there are consequences for that. If, on the other hand, you don't have visitation because the court refuses to allow it (for whatever reason)...well, that's a different issue.
You still have to pay child support, it's for your son and not his dad, but if he is breaking your agreement you have to go to the police or court.
You are not likely to pay child support, but neither will you get visitation rights, unless you adopted the child as your own at the time you were married.
If there is a court order for visitation privileges it must be obeyed. Visitation and child support are treated as two entirely different issues. Just as an obligated parent is in contempt of a court order when they do not pay the mandated child support a custodial parent could be in contempt for not adhering to the visitation terms.
I live in Indiana. In our state. Child support does not pay for visitation. These are 2 separate issues all together. If you have an order or divorce decree with scheduled visitation, and she's not allowing you to see the child, then you need to take her back to court. If no visitation has been ordered, then you need to petition the court for visitation rights.
You can't. The child has the right to be supported by her father and they both have the right to a relationship with each other. The father should pay child support and also have a regular visitation schedule.
No. Child support, visitation and custody are three separate issues in court. And that also means you can not deny him to see his child if there is a court order for visitation. The child is not allowed to choose until he is 18yo. It's the parents job to make sure the court orders are followed.
You would have to sue for visitation rights. If you pay support, you should have visitation rights unless otherwise indicated by the court. Click on the related links section posted below by contributor George McCasland for detail.
Get a court order to divide it
It depends on your divorce decree for specifics. After that, whatever you can arrange with the kids and ex-wife should be ok. You should expect to pay for travel and to pay child support even for the periods that they are visiting you. Legally and by what is right, you cannot link child support and visitation as being a one in return for the other.
no
You should have a DNA performed to determine if you are indeed the child's father. If you are the father, you can get visitation but you will also have to pay child support to the mother.
