I wouldn’t know. I never got a dime for my son or anything for that matter. My son is now 32 so don’t get your hopes up on visitation or money. In my house I call it “abandonment”. He has since passed away and I never wished bad on him

In North Carolina, child support is solely based off salary and any other children in either home. Visitation has absolutely nothing to do with it, rather he has it and uses it pr doesn’t, or doesn’t have it at all.

Here child support is based on the % each parent has the child so the parent with the most time will get the support if one parent has the child all the time support will be adjusted to reflect that
All I can say is this is 100% going to get nasty majority of family law court matters do
Did this for 6 years and I now have full custody and he has no visitation due to his drug alcohol and bad associate abuse
The courts left it in my hands
So if he wants visits he has to ask me and I have to cover my butt with documents and evidence of time date stamps that he has them.
And yes it sounds greedy especially when the court system lawyers and solicitors report writers plays the parents against each other.
Child support Payments depends on how it’s written up - not all states are the same - some go through family court. And some thru DSS

I think it’s depends on the state. I get a notice every 3 years to review the case to see if I qualify for more money in child support. I have never done it, as he is not in her life, never has been and the $ I get is fine with me and comes on time each month.
No not if the mother is keeping the child from the father willingly. She can be held in contempt

Depends on state laws. Most states have a formula for child support. In most courts visitation and child support are not linked
Child support and visitation are two separate things involving different courts. (Atleast in Ohio it is) So if she wants to take him to court and have his visitation taken, 1st off the won’t just take it and 2ndly she has to have a good reason. For child support to go up she would have to file a motion to have their case re evaluated and even then it might not. If she doesn’t want him in the child’s life and he’s fine with that, have him sign over rights and then he won’t have rights or visitation but that also gets him off the hook of paying child support.
No. If he’s paying child support he has a right to see the child unless there is an agency involved to work as a go between. But no. It won’t change. Especially go up
No child support doesn’t go up. I feel bad for him. Stupid ass baby mommas causing more harm then good.

“He wants rights but doesn’t want to fight it”…wtf are we supposed to say to that? If you have a court ordered agreement and she isn’t following through, going back to court is your only option. What if she keeps note of how many times you “missed” getting your child & takes it to court herself to try and get more support because, after all, she has your child 100% of the time. You can say it’s not true all you want but the judge is gonna look at you and wonder why in the hell you didn’t come forth with that beforehand. Fight. For. Your. Kids

Why would you change your mind about letting your kid see their father? If he wants be in the kids life, let him visit.

Yes, it will go up. In state of Illinois visits and child support are 2 different things. So whether he is seeing his child or not, it don’t matter. They are 2 different matters.
…take her back to court fight that. She cannot withhold visits.

Not in Texas…Child support is based in disposable earnings only. If mother refuses visitation you can go back to court or have the sheriff escort you to where the child is supposed to be. If there are child support orders then there is state mandated visitation too when the parties can’t agree on visitation. Usually as long as the record shows father had sheriffs go with him and she does not produce child then she will be cited.
If it’s court ordered visitation and the mother is not following the order, she is in contempt and that doesn’t take much of a fight. Also, child support and visitation are 2 separate things.

The easiest and cleanest way to do that is through the court. Get set visitation and stick to it. If dad decides to be a dead beat, he deserves to pay more. That poor child, having 2 petty parents.
Its sad but you need it on paper dont waste a relationship with your child over the mother being to controlling thinking you have no rights. Fathers have just as much right to see there child as mothers do.

Child support stays the same
Child support and custody are two different things in Colorado. Custody is Parenting time and decision making. Unless their is a court order parenting time and decision making is presumed 50/50. He needs a court order.
Ive never gotten a notice for review (oklahoma) in court he was asked if he agreed that i have sole custody he said yes and he asked what if i dont let him see my kid judge said he has every right to visitation which was fine ive never kept her from him but he still doesnt come see her and when she does see him its for less than 5 min i guess its better than nothing but i get 250 a month
If they have court mandated dates and she is keeping him from the child he can take her back to court and get her in trouble.
If he truly wants to be in that child’s life he needs to go to court to get set child support & visitations. If she withholds visitations she can go to jail, typically even if child support isn’t current. Encourage him to be part of that child’s life regardless how that mother is or what he has to pay, there are enough absent fathers in this world and it’s not fair that he has other kids he is part of their lives but not this child’s!
He’s supposed to get visiting rights also
We just went thru 3 years of crap like this. (Women get cut a lot of slack i learned) Child support is seperate of custody. But to say he has other kids to take care of and hes not gonna fight it thats not a good thing… She can petition an increase of support. Id be fighting to get solid on paper custody visitation.

In WV, I waived support and was told even if I received it, you cant force them to see the child
In FL child support does not equate to custody or visitation. That’s a whole separate issue.

Child support stays the same in most states, it is not based on visitations. In some states it can increase or decrease if visitation is 50/50. In other words if you share time equally vs one parent having primary physical.
No, it won’t and for her to terminate visitation, she’d have to show that their is a danger to the kids and even then the court would still set up supervised visits.

In MI, child support is calculated by number of overnights, so reducing parenting time would be cause for increased support.
This kind of thing really varies not only by state but county.
You’d be best advised to consult an attorney. Most will answer questions without a retainer.
She doesn’t call the shots. The court will. He needs to pull his tail out from between is legs and do what’s right for those kids of his.
Child support is a set amount based on both incomes. So the answer is no it will NOT go up if one parent isn’t involved.

I think the whole child support system is a disaster and crooked and would never pursue it myself, But for the sake of the question…no visitation does not affect the amount of child support, that is based on income.
Get a court order she cannot go against that .
I think “won’t fight” shouldn’t be a reason to “judge” this father! It is EXPENSIVE to fight a custody battle and, unfortunately, not every father is financially capable of doing so!
Child support and custody/visitation are separate matters in most states, BUT CS is determined based on income of father and mother and the amount of time the child is with each parent is used in determining the financial responsibility of both parties.
sounds to me like a parenting plan needs to be placed into effect - and mediation is normally successful but if not it can and will go in front if a judge.
“He has other children he takes care of”… 
he is just as much her daddy as he is the other children. That was the hardest part to read 
No. I would say tell him to call the courts. If they have an agreement with the court for visitation the mother can get into trouble for not allowing him his time with his child
Yes it may. Child support is based on a formula that looks at the income of both parents and the amount of time with each parent (overnight). If that ratio changes in any way, the CS can be adjusted accordingly.
Shows the way he thinks though when he doesn’t want to fight for visitation, but is worried his payments will go up…
With my my oldest when i lived in illinois the dad got a dna test but that didnt give him rights to the kids and he had to get right established thru court.my other same way and that one was in ky.
U can also get rights terminated if he hasn’t paid or has not been involved in a year
I know someone who pays 1500 a month for 2 kids he hasn’t seen in 10 years, she decided she didn’t want him to have contact.
Even tho he’s supposed to be getting visits she refuses. Shes up and moved, remarried and everything. But courts won’t help him. The man has 2 other kids with a new wife and he’s been raising his first child on his own since she was 2.
I’m not sure where you live but in Most places child support is based on the income of the person paying and certain expenses per month for the child. However if the father is paying child support and not allowed to see the child then no it won’t as well she could also be taken to court for violation of agreement.
I’m sure it differs depending on where people live tho.

They have a worksheet they fill out for each parent based on income and bills. Parenting time is a factor as well. If they aren’t parenting then the Judge can increase due to more expense to you. Good luck!
Portage county ohio, child support and visitation are two totally different things. Even if story was different and say dad was ordered child support but also granted visitation but stopped paying child support, the mother could NOT legally keep the child from the father just because he isn’t paying support. Those are two totally different issues. In your situation if the agreement for visitation was 50/50 or even every other weekend etc and that’s what child support was based off of according to the judge and CSEA in court then yes if mother takes father back then support can definitely go up but ALSO father could have visitation taken if he stops seeing child for min of a yr with no contact at ALL then if the mom pushes for it the father could lose any custody altogether. Id talk to a lawyer in whatever county you’re in and see what yalls laws are on it as everywhere differs.
Child support guidelines have changed on a federal level this year. It is by gross income, health coat, daycare cost, Bill’s and a few others. Visitation is separate from child support. And a mother cannot change her mind for visitation. Sounds like she wants to control him and everything to do with the child.
She doesn’t have a choice about visitation rights. That baby is his. He gets visitation rights unless the court says otherwise when a danger is proven to the child. Why tf wouldn’t he want the rights to his own child? Maybe stop making babies Willie nillie with whatever ho that’s ready to open her legs he’ll stop having biatch baby mommas that won’t give him rights to that horrible momma that being vindictive instead of a good momma to that poor child?
Judge sets CS no one else, mom can be found in contempt for not following a custody order. Dad can file for her to be found in civil contempt if he wants to record any and all convos with mom and submit it to the courts.
Not sure why the person is more concerned with money than time sharing.
If he wanted his rights he would fight it! He can’t want it, but yet sit back and hope it comes to him! Anything worth having is worth fighting for! Also, if they are court ordered visitations…then time to get the paperwork filled out
If it’s a court agreement than she is in violation of, you can have her charged with contempt of court and force her to hold up to her end of the bargain, just keep records asking for the child everytime you’re supposed to have them and her rebuttal or excuses. There is no way that she has a case for getting support raised if she is the one blocking visitation, it doesn’t work that way or every greedy baby momma who cares more about money than her kids would just pull that stunt.

As long as the father is involved in some way shape or form like buying their child necessities then no it won’t but it’s a whole different story if the bm keeps that kid from said father without a good reason and no proof to back up the reason why she’s keeping the child away, this tends to happen a lot everywhere.
That’s using your kid as a pawn. It’s different if dads a piece of shit and just a sperm donor but if mom thinks she’s just entitled to calling the shots then fuck no
Theirs no good way for any of us to answer this the laws change so drastically for state to state in Pennsylvania support and visitation or two completely top or two completely different topics. Support is Figured out my total income of both parents divided by the number of total people including all the children and then the parent and then one of the parents parents is ordered to pay an amount based on the amount of children
in short. Yes. A factor in determining support amounts is time spent w child.
If he goes to court, she won’t be able to change her mind.
No that’s not how it works.
Visitation and support are two different things

My child support goes up every year according to the CPI not sure if that’s just our agreement
No child support is based on income ere it will go down because he has other children ( if they are his ) my husband used to pay $700 weekly plus insurance 100% of it all and we recently went in for a modification due to having 2 other children and other expenses and his payment went down but we got more visitation rights more time that is court ordered so she can’t make up her own rules or decide when she wants us to see my son … Court is always they was to go those types of moms are the worst. If she refused to let me see my son or pick him all I have to do I document it and after 3 or missed we can take her to court she can get in trouble.
Whatever the judge orders
If there’s already a legal agreement for visitation then mother could be punished for breaking the contract not sure if they charge more child support when they take away visitation though
Mom cant change her mind…its court ordered. No child support wont go up, if mom is violating the court order.
