Q: What can I do if my childs father is not seeing him.like he is suppose to on the child support order?
A: The court will probably not require him to exercise his parenting time / visitation. however, if the child support order was based on his having a certain amount of overnights, you may be able to modify/increase the child support amount if he is not exercising his time. You should retain an attorney to review your situation and advise you how to proceed.

A: More information is needed to understand what, specifically, you are asking. Generally, child support orders don't contain provisions for visitation. I am going to guess that you are indicating the court orders regarding visitation reflect him getting certain parenting time, which he is not taking, and that that parenting time is 93 overnights or more, thereby lowering child support he pays. If he has not been taking the parenting time for some time, you should look into modifying your parenting time and child support orders.
