The right to petition for custody or visitation and the right to pay support. [Paternity must be established before any discussion of rights or responsibilities.]
If the father of a child gets married and owes back child support can the spouse be obligated to pay his back child support in CA?
An unmarried father cannot "choose" to not pay child support. The laws in every state require that a father pay for the support of his child. The mother must bring an action to the appropriate court so that a child support order can be established. Visitation rights are separate and a father can have visitation rights established by the court. Visitation rights are not dependent on paying child support.
Does the father have to have visitation rights in order for the mother to get child support?
Child support and visitation rights are two separate issues and they are addressed separately. The father's paternity must be legally established in court if the parents are unmarried and the mother seeks child support. Once paternity has been established, the court will issue a child support order based on state child support guidelines. In addition, once paternity has been established the father has the right to petition for a visitation schedule. If the father fails to pay his child support he is still entitled to visitations. In that case, the mother would need to pursue the child support arrears by filing a motion for contempt of the child support order.
How old does the newborn have to be before visitation is established in child support?
That's interpretive, but it should be no more so than when a parent would allow a a sitter or day care to take the child.
If the mother will not let you see your child do you have to pay child support?
Yes you have to continue to pay child support. If you have an established standing court order for custody/visitation you can file a violation of that order with the court in the jurisdiction the order was established. If you do not have a custody/visitation order I would suggest you get one in your jurisdiction ASAP.
If your ex had a baby before you were together and you have supported the child since he was 5 months do you have to pay child support and can you get visitation?
