No, you cannot refuse visits for nonpayment of child support. Contact your county’s child support office to figure out what you need to do as far as non-payment. Using your child as a pawn isn’t the answer here.
Two different issues. And the fact that he can’t have daughter cause he don’t pay you is ridiculous. Listen to what you are asking. Do I have to send my daughter if he don’t pay… your child isn’t for sale and he is her parent not to mention it is contempt if there is active court order. You know you would throw a fit if dad did this to you.
I don’t think keeping her from her dad is the answer to not getting child support. Child support isn’t a payment he gives you to see the child. I’m not sure why everyone is under the impression that child support has anything to do with visitation. They are not the same and one has nothing to do with the other. Child support is exactly that, financial support for the child you created together. If you made the child together you both should be financially supportive of her needs. Depriving her of seeing her dad regardless of any child support would be toxic behavior. If your current order states he can just hand you the money and he isn’t doing that, a court order where it is taken directly from his check will help, but if he’s a willing participant in her life then you stopping that would be far worse then him being behind in child support.
No and you can’t take him to court until it’s 3000$ in arrears. However doing that will have his license revoked and he might not be able to get to work or take care of her properly when he has her. I have four kids. I have not ever stopped their dad from seeing them and I have not ever gone to court for child support. Why you ask?
Answer this
Could you afford a 3 bedroom place to have your kids on weekends if you had to pay 400$ a month to the other parent?
NO you couldn’t or you wouldn’t get child support according to the courts you need this money to raise your kid. Well you already get the childtax and the child support usually so he’s out that as well. I bet if he got child support and the childtax he could have her full time too
. It time we as woman stop expecting our male ex’s to pay our way. And yes I said our way because that money buffers our comfort. He takes her every weekend that’s a whole week a month in #days.
Hugs sorry you just sound really unreasonable.
I’m guessing since he still takes her on weekends he has explained why he can’t afford it. You just don’t have the same empathy you expect him to have.
I’m the state of Ms. & I think all states, the child support and the visitation are two completely separate things.
They are separate you can’t stop access due to money. You can go back to court for the money.
You’ll be seen worse using your kid as a pawn,that’s never right
So you want to punish your daughter because her dad isn’t paying child support…
My daughter is actually, our daughter. Just because the parents aren’t together anymore doesn’t make the child one or the others, they are still made my both parents, therefore the child is our child.
Why would you want to do that though? You shouldn’t punish your daughter for her father’s shortcomings.
The answer is no. Just because he’s not following the court order, does not mean that you don’t have to. You’d be in contempt also. Keep your side of the street clean.
