No. There is no law that says a parent must have contact with children. And that is justly so. It would seem a parent who was forced to have visitation would not be able to meet the emotional needs of the children.

Yes, unless he has already been deemed an unfit parent by the court. If not, once his paternity has been established he has the right to visitations with his child and the obligation to support that child also.

Generally, the court cannot force a parent to spend time with their children. However, there are different aspects of this situation that the court may address.


The custodial parent can request a modification of the visitation order to significantly reduce the time allotted to the NC parent so time no longer needs to be reserved for a parent who doesn’t show up. That would free up the custodial parent’s ability to schedule activities and child care. Also, the custodial parent could request an increase in child support since not sharing the parenting places more of a burden on the custodial parent.

No. In fact, she would find herself in trouble with the court if she turned the child over to the father if she is the one who is the child’s legal guardian. If she no longer wants the responsibility then she should return to court and let the court make new arrangements. The father can seek legal custody through the court system.

If you have denied your baby's father access for no real valid reason other than differences between yourselves and he wants to go through court what will happen and what if you refuse to go to court?

If this is indeed the father of your child, then the court will order visitation. If you do not comply with the court order, you can be held in contempt of court.If you do not go to court, a warrant for your arrest will be issued.What you are doing is wrong. You are lucky that the man wants to be in his child's life. Not every child is that lucky. The father should take you to court. Every child deserves 2 parents when possible.Lady, if the father of your kids wants to see them, he wants to be a part of their life. Let him visit his kids. Those kids aren't just yours because without his sperm you wouldn't have the kids in the first place. Get real and let him see the kids.


Why does the father pay child support for a child that mother will not let him see?
