Custody and child support are two separate issues. He can file for it, yes, but it's the judge that decides. It also depends on why he has not paid for 2 years and that is something they will ask for. If he has a job the court can issue an order so they take it directly out of his wages.

Can a non custodial parent get custody when they pay child support?

of course, you deadbeat! The law only requires you to pay the child support,you are not required by law to see the child or even the custodial parent....it is a choice not a requirement..


If you sue for full custody of a child does the non-custodial parent still pay child support?

In general, no. Child Support and Custody/Visitation are separate issues and often handled in different parts of the court system. For more accurate information, please remember to specify the State your matter is in.Whatever rights are specified in the court documents. Simply paying support does not, in and of itself, guarantee any other rights.The a single, unmarried, obligor parent has no rights by virtue of paying child support except the right to request a visitation schedule. A separated parent, without a restraining order applied to him/her, has an assumed equal access and decision making to the children unless limited by a court ordered visitation schedule.


What is the punishment for denying access to the non custodial parent?

If the non-custodial parent is not barred from seeing the child, it would be VERY strange if the custody order(s) did not address visitation. If the custodial parent is denying the non-custodial parent court allowed access, then the custodial parent is in contempt of the court's order. My suggestion would be for the non-custodial parent to return to the court with this information - DO NOT attempt to 'force' the situation as it could wind up back-firing on you.


Can child support locate you?

Child support agencies have nationwide access to various databases that often enable them to locate non-custodial parents/obligors.


Can you overrule an activity the non custodial parent wants to engage in while child is in his custody for access?

Not without the authority of the court. Such an all encompassing authority is easy to abuse.


If non-custodial parent is not involved or does not pay child support can they fight for soul custody if they are unfit and the custodial is fit?

I assume this is a rhetorical question? But, determining unfitness is up to the court, and can be highly interpretive. Not being involved is common as 60% of fathers are denied access to the children, according to the to the US Dept. of Health & Human Services study, "Survey of Absentee Parents". As for child support. Was a claim filed. Many fathers pay without one, but it is not considered child support. Also, mothers run off with children, not notifying him of her location.


Custodial parent has suddenly passed away Father with joint custody has tried to retrieve his children but the grandmother will not let him remove them from her house What can he do?

If the mother had primary residential, than the grandmother has a right to the children, but this not not preclude access rights. This is why this needs to be addressed in the custody decree. You may need to file a custody challenge to be granted primary residential. But, if you are being denied access, that's interference with custody, which could become a police matter.

Is custodial parent allowed access to the child's dental records if the noncustodial parent provides the insurance?

Yes, of course. The custodial parent is entitled to anyrecord concerning the child. Many non-custodial parents provide insurance coverage. That does not bar the parent with custody from the child's medical records. That wouldn't make sense and would be counter productive to the best interest of the child.Yes, of course.

The answer is yes as long as the Father has custodial or access rights to the child. In the roles were reversed, would this question also apply to a mother?

yes, as the custodial usually schedules them to interfere with the other parents's access rights.


Can your sons father keep him from you if you have never been to court to determine custody?

No. Not unless there is a court order to that effect. The custody order should include a visitation schedule for the non-custodial parent unless she has been deemed unfit and for some reasons the court denied visitation. She should return to that court and take the appropriate action by requesting a visitation schedule is there is none. A custodial parent who withholds visits without the authority to do so can lose custody of the child.
