Visitation

Hi,
I’m not an attorney but…
Here’s what I think…He needs to take the ex to court and have a court ordered visitation. He has the right to see his child and no court will say no unless he has been found an unfit parent.

Dear gincreech:

Greetings. He needs to immediately file an action to see his child. What kind of garbage is that? I would be outraged if I were him. She is acting like he is a drug addict, child abuser, or has some other serious condition. Thank you.

thanks so much. How expensive will it be to file an action to get visitation rights? And we are going to get married soon and he does have some back child support, will the courts take money from my paychecks to go towards his back child support?

I don’t know how much $$ to get visitation but I do know that they can not touch your pay for his child support obligation. Nor can they count your money in determining child support amounts.
