nope. if the father is indeed the biological father then he has rights that can not be taken away unless he willingly gives it up by sighning off his rights or it is cort ordered. but in no way can the mother of a child regardless of the age of the child keep the father from seeing his son/and of daughter.

If you chose not to disclose the child support and they find out, you'll be responsible for any balances, including being dropped off from the program.
