Q: If i file for child support will they grant visitation?
My ex has made racial and sexual comments towards our daughter. He doesn’t help financially and has now blocked me.
A: Not if you pursue child support through child support recovery. However, he can seek visitation rights if he files for legitimation.
Homer P Jordan IV agrees with this answer
A: The Department has no jurisdiction to award the father visitation. Under these facts, he may even be found to have abandoned his child if his paternity has already been proved or he previously acknowledged paternity, ex. signed acknowledgment at birth and name on birth certificate as father.
Homer P Jordan IV agrees with this answer
A: I agree with my colleagues, they won't grant visitation for seeking support. However, he can on his own decide to take action to get visitation rights. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558 HomerJordan.com
