Can a mother get into trouble if the father is paying child support and not seeing the child?
Not if the father hasn't requested a visitation schedule. The mother should allow the father to visit with the child. However, if there is no visitation order in place she won't "get into trouble" if he's is not having visitations with the child. Child support and visitations are two separate issues as far as the court is concerned.Fathers are entitled to visitations. If the mother refuses the father should return to court and request a visitation schedule. The mother will be legally obligated to obey that order.Not if the father hasn't requested a visitation schedule. The mother should allow the father to visit with the child.

Does an unmarried mother still have sole custody after father has been awarded visitation in Tennessee?
She needs to review the court order that established the visitations. The order should state the legal custody arrangement along with the visitation schedule. For example it could state, "The mother shall have sole legal custody and the father shall have the right to visitations with the child every other weekend and alternating holidays."
How can you find out who the father is?
Who the father is a very important question. You can find that out by requesting a court ordered paternity test for the suspected father. Then you can obtain a child support order and the father can arrange visitations.
The father has the child living with him and enrolled in school. The mother does not bring her back after weekend visitation and there is no court order. What happens?
If the parents are unmarried and there is no custody order then nothing happens. The father needs to establish his paternity legally and request custody and/or visitations. The court will also issue a child support order. If there is no marriage to establish legal status then the parties must establish legal relationships and custody by court orders.
What would happen if a child is with their father for his weekend and child runs away to the mother with primary custody?
The police can bring the child back to his father since the court order says it is his weekend. The mother also have a responsibility to make sure the child is brought back and can not break the court order.
Can someone in the household consume alcohol during child visitations with father?
It wouldn't be advisable, but it is legal if it hasn't been spelled out in the custory agreement or order.
What rights does a single mother have when she doesn't want the father involved in the child's life when he is a bad infulence?
If the father wants to be involved in the child's life, the mother cannot legally stop him on her own. Only a judge may determine if the father is unfit to be a parent, but even then the court may still order visitations. If you believe that the child is in immediate danger from the father, call the police.
Do you have the right as an unwed mother to deny the biological father visitation rights?
You do not have the right to deny visitations but if you do, the father can and should request a court hearing to establish his paternity and get visitation rights. He can request custody or joint custody and the court will render a decision. If the child is to remain with the mother the court will set up a child support order and the father can file contempt charges if the mother withholds visitation or violates the visitation order in any other way.
Does a mother have the right to not release their child to anyone but the father during visitations?
If the mother is the custodial parent and the father is sending someone else to pick up the child for him when it's his turn to have visitation then yes, she can say no. She can not however decide who the child sees when the child is with the father.
Does the father have the right to know where his son lives if he is paying child support?
No. The mother has the right to know where the child is when she's not in her possession. In fact, the court would require it. What if something happened to the father while the child was with him? It would not be in the child's best interest for the father to be able to keep his whereabouts secret from the mother when the child is with him. Now that's a good recipe to cause strife.
Can legal and physical custody be taken away from mother if she was assaulted by the father in 2009 in front of child and she stopped visitation?
She cannot stop visitations on her own for any reason. Only the court can change a visitation order. She must request that the court modify the visitation order and provide police reports detailing the assault. If she stops the visitations on her own she could lose custody.
Does the father have to have visitation rights in order for the mother to get child support?
Child support and visitation rights are two separate issues and they are addressed separately. The father's paternity must be legally established in court if the parents are unmarried and the mother seeks child support. Once paternity has been established, the court will issue a child support order based on state child support guidelines. In addition, once paternity has been established the father has the right to petition for a visitation schedule. If the father fails to pay his child support he is still entitled to visitations. In that case, the mother would need to pursue the child support arrears by filing a motion for contempt of the child support order.
