Q: My Ex has been keeping me out of childs life since i was 14 with dcf threat now that 18 come for CS. no custody agreemet
We were never married, I still visit when and only when she allows and i provide whenever asked and even when not. I just got a letter in the mail saying she opened a case and now I'm waiting for a court summons. i would like to be able to see my child without her constant supervision and id like overnight visits weekly trades whatever I can do to be in my child's life. I have no problem paying child support, but is it necessary in this case? As mentioned I'm currently 18 unemployed and about to enroll in college Any advice is appreciated. Thank you
A: If paternity has been established then there is a Complaint for Custody and Support she may have filed and the Court can enter minimum child support orders due to your unemployment status. This legal proceeding is the forum for presenting your visitation requests as well.
