Can you keep the father of your child from having visitation rights and still collect child support?

Child support and visitation are two separate issues. The custodial parent can file a suit for child support but cannot deny the non custodial parent custodial or vistation rights is said parent wants those rights. That being said, the non custodial parent can file for custody or visitation regardless of whether the child support issue is addressed or not. Such matters are decided by the court if the parents cannot find an equitable solution.

If the father has custody and the mother does not work will she be made to pay child support?

The new "Mother" has nothing to do with the communion between her husband and his ex-wife, so the answer is no. * A new spouse has no legal standing in regards to non biological children, regardless of the issue. The biological father would have to be the one to file a suit to have the child support order enforced.


How is it possible for a man to sue a woman so he doesn't have to pay child support?

One option is for the male to prove through paternity testing (preferably DNA) that he is not the biological father of the child and then file suit to present the evidence to the court that issued the child support order. Another option would be that the father of the child petition the court for primary custody of the child and if successful request the non custodial mother pay support. Grounds such as the male being mislead concerning the possibility of the female using birth control so as not to become pregnant (or some other such scenario) would not be a viable defense for the non support of a biological child.

Can adult children file a property lien for back child support if father died?

No. The child support was owed to the custodial parent and not the child. In order to obtain a judgment lien the adult children would need legal standing to bring suit in civil court- they wouldn't qualify. Also, there may be a statute of limitations. They, and their mother, should consult with an attorney who specializes in family law to determine if their mother can file a claim against the estate.
