You could be paying child support for 18 years and never see the child. You will need to take the mother... View More

The answer to your original question is no. Your 14 year old child cannot decide he is no longer going to go to visit his father. If you want to change the visitation and/or remove some visitation, you will have to take the father back to court. But if you do not send the child, you could be... View More

Simply because the custodial parent has agreed to close the case and even if they do close the case, all they are doing to closing a case with child support enforcement.

It is uncertain what papers you were served with that contained false statements. I would suggest you speak directly to an attorney so you can explain what action has been filed, what papers you were served with, and get some clarity.

The court will determine where the child should be regarding custody, visitation, child support, and any other matters, which include where the child will live on a permanent basis.

I would suggest you hire an attorney. Because your question, "How can I request that we reduce the cost by 15k?" does not make sense. The Court does not reduce your net worth because you will be losing health insurance. And I'm not sure how your net worth factors into your divorce... View More

File for a modification of custody and the best advice I can give is to hire an attorney to assist you in this action. And if the father has primary physical custody you should file the action where the father lives, as he is the defendant.

If you give primary physical custody to the father then he should seek a modification of child support. He can then ask the court to sign a support order in your name and the court will then address how to handle the children's current needs, taking into consideration his arrears.

No, in order to terminate someone's parental rights you have to obtain an order from the court. Which means you must file the proper action, have the defendant served, and appear before the court and plead your case.

Terminating your parental rights will not terminate a child support order, nor will it relieve you of the financial responsibility of paying child support. It will simply mean you have no access to the child and no relationship.

But you have to have a court order before the mother's family has to give the child to you. Because if you were... View More
