It's highly unlikely that custodial rights would even be considered. However, courts seldom refuse visitation rights unless there is evidence of abuse or neglect on the part of the requesting parent. If there is not a court order terminating parental rights due to abandonment or another such issue, the parent will likely be granted visitation. It is quite possible, the court would order supervised visitation for a specified length of time. A lot depends on the reason for non-contact with the child. Courts tend to leave things as they are and not make drastic changes in children's lives unless it is what they want and better for them in the long run. yes, you can get visitation and/or custody but again, it depends on what kept you away (drugs, jail, etc.).

Until you are 18 the parent with full custody can determine where you live.
Why does a non custodial parent pay for child support to the custodial parent when they live together?
Because you are not married and filed for child support. You have to pay child support to one parent and that has to be to the one with custody. If you both had 50/50 custody it could look differently but you only have visitation.
Father of a child who does not have primary custody only joint is taking the child to NC for a vacation on his weekend he refused the primary parent any information agreement was made in CT legal?
Read your custody agreement. Everything that governs, or limits, the 'right' of the non-custodial parent during his visitation should be set forth in the custody agreement. If it isn't set forth in the custody agreement then there is no limitation on him. It is, I agree, pretty callous to just take the child off out of state and not give you any contact information. If the custody agreement limits what he can do and where he can go with the child, you could take him back to court asking for the court to find him in contempt of the order, and possibly request further limitations on his visitation.

Child support and custody/visitation are separate issues. You should contact your local courts to file for visitation/custody if the custodial parent is denying visitation.

What happens when you are paying child support but being denied visitation and your child resides in a different state?
The non-custodial parent should file for visitation rights for the child in the county where custody was given. If the parent who has custody of the child is preventing the non-custodial parent the right of visitation they can be found in contempt of court if visitation has already been established. If the custodial parent has too many repeated contempts filed against them, custody can be switched to the other parent.

You don't have the right to contact your child? If you don't, you can file a motion for an order of visitation in the court with jurisdiction (where the child legally resides).

After such long time it would be if the legal guardian is unfit. They would have to see to the child's point of view who has not seen her parent in 10 years and do not know him. Most likely would the parent get visitation and eventually shared custody. Eventually he has the chance for sole custody.
