Idk what to do cuz I’m also pregnant with his daughter now and i don’t want the court date to close to my due date ?
A: You should definitely file for a violation and contempt of the child support order. The Custody issue is more complicated. The court can not force him to see the child. You can file to modify the visitations to limit his visits and give you sole legal custody. Contact an attorney to discuss your options.
A: You should definitely file a violation of the support order. In regard to visitation, unfortunately, visitation is a right not an obligation so the father cannot be made to visit with the child.
A: You need to file a Violation and a Modification Petition
