Bixby, OK asked in Family Law and Child Support for Oklahoma

Q: Can I receive child support from my ex/child's father, and him still not get visitation. I don't trust him.

He will just pawn my 2 year old daughter off on his 96 year old grandmother while he is out running around all night and having multiple females in and out of his house all hours of the night and day and he never has food at his house. He has two older children from previous relationship a 11 year old girl and 12 year old boy and they already share a room and he pawns them off on his grandmother. He has nothing for my daughter at his house such as a room, bed, clothing, food, toys, etc.. and his house is always dirty. I don't want her exposed to his lifestyle. I haven't filed for child support because I'm afraid of him getting visitation rights because he don't have them now cause he didn't sign birthday certificate when she was born cause he was in rehab.

A: If you file for child support, it will be up to the judge to decide whether the father gets visitation.

Except in the most extraordinary circumstances, judges generally grant visitation to both parents. You may be able to get an order saying any of the father's visitation is to be supervised. It will all depend on the judge.
