Q: I have a son by married man. He provide for him financial support that we agreed upon. He don't want to visit my son or
Any visitation rights at all because he is married. There is no child support case out there. My question is if I put him on child support and he don't agree on visitation rights and he go to jail behind it? What are the consequences of him not see or getting his child?
A:
Many parents pay child support without having contact with their children. Visitation isn't directly tied to child support.
You should strongly consider filing for child support. The support will be based on many things, including his income and whether he has other children. Once he is on child support, if he fails to pay in accordance with the support order, he can be held in contempt.
