If you owe child support can you come to court for sole custody?

You can still apply for sole custody, but you would not be awarded custody unless you are able to demonstrate, at the least, that you are financially capable of supporting that child. You should also be able to demonstrate that you will take better care of the child than the other parent. If not, there would not seem to be any basis to award you sole custody. But if the other parent is incompetent in some way, then a legal basis would exist. If both parents turn out to be incompetent then the child can become a ward of the state.

Do I have custody of my child if your name isn't on the birth certificate but paternity test proves I am 99.8 percent the father?
You don't get automatic custody after a test, you get rights to the child. You have to go to court and get custody orders. Go to your courthouse, to the family court section, get a list of lawyers you can call and papers to file for custody. Next, child support will probably come up. So get ready for a battle.

What do you do if child stay with you and you paying child support?
If both of the child and other parent are living with you then you can indeed NOT pay child support, but that decision has to come from the Judge. You have the support somehow, and with child living with you and you proving clothing, food, etc to child child then you are doing your part. You need to provide evidence of what you spend to support the child, such as receipts, etc, and also provide evidence that child lives with you, such as video tapes, pictures of child bedroom. If the other parent just left the child with you and took off, then you could file for legal custody, on the basis of child abandonment. You can file both petition at your local family court (Termination of child support, full custody).
Is it legal to keep a child from a parent in custody battle?
It all depends on what the court has already established. If no custody is established and the parents are married, joint custody is assumed. If there is not a very good reason for keeping the child away from the other parent it could make you look very bad when it does come to court.
The father has sole custody but wants to give custody back to the mother of a very unruly child who wants to live with his mother anyway How can he do this without her come after him for child support?
The only way would be to do a personal agreement between the mother & father, ideally having it filed with the court. However, at any time, either parent can utilize Child Support without the other parent's consent. If the Mother spends more time with the child than the Father, she is most likely entitled to child support.
What right does a non custodial parent have when no court oder is in place?
The depends on the cause, as most mothers tend to be Gatekeepers. see link This problem is most prevalent in males in their teens and early 20s. Males don't reach full maturity until age 30, whereas the woman reaches it at age 24. Far to often, young women forces a young man into being a father, when he's not emotionally ready for such a responsibility. As they mature, they come to realize that they have made a mistake. Preventing him from being a parent, regardless of when he came to this realization, only harms the children.

The only reason to not pay child support is if you are not the biological or adoptive parent. You must provide proof to the court that ordered the child support.
Do you have to pay support if child does not live at home?
It depends on your jurisdiction. In the United States the parents are required by law to support their children. If the grandparent has custody the child support payments must be paid over to the grandparent. It's your child and you should support her.
The non-custodial parent had child support court order stop and can the custodail parent stop the non-cusoial parent from seeing the child?
NO! Call they child support agency and find out why he stopped it and actually I don't think he can. Unless you have joint custody and placement he has to pay that is every states law. But do not use him not paying child support to withold your child you can be held in contempt of court. Those are two separate issues. That is right, He cannot just stop paying. and I agree, do not use money to withold your child from seeing him. It will only hurt your child and then come back on you.
Can the father of the child come in and take the child after the mother of the child has said no?
Yes..unless court has said otherwise. In fact if you have been denying the father access then you could lose custody.
Does the father have custody of he child even though the child lives with him but both the parents were never married. Can the father come after the mother for full custody.?
With no courts orders in place, the father has no legal right to have the child living with him. The mother has sole custody and control in all states, and he can still be obligated to pay support for this time period. He needs to immediately file a motion with the court to establish his rights and for at least temporary custody, pending a full hearing, before she gets wind of the fact that she can take the child away from him at any time. see links below.
