Help Wanted in Kentucky
Dear friends,

Thanks!
Family Court in America
I am reading about children rights in USA and I find out that even if the father has not have visitations rights he must paid child support. That is a big lie, the judge denied to give child support to my little girl and her father had completely abandon her, when I finally contacted him he said THE JUDGE SAID “I HAVE NOT CONTACT WITH HER SO SHE (MY DAUGHTER) HAS NOT RIGHT TO GET CHILD SUPPORT” and when I asked him to sing an authorization form for her to travel he denied to sing it.
Can that be possible? can someone that is the biological father and has not contact with his kids still have parental rights? can some one advise me about this,
thanks a lot

I have seen cases of fathers who were in jail that were required to pay child support…that is the child support continues to amass, regardless of the father’s employment or income status—the child has needs and the father is responsible to provide the necessary money to raise the child—YES, contact a lawyer ASAP, if u can’t afford one then file a motion for child support at the family court counter. It may be effective when you file-that is the child support payments will be effective the day you write the motion-unless the judge chooses differently-could backdate but i haven’t seen that happen, but worth a try. I helped a Mom require the father to re-mortgage his home that he shared with his brothers-to come up with the $5000 he owed in arrearage. Advocate for your child-I agree with Kathy above, an absent father should not be asked permission-maaybe you should look for a woman who can be your advocate-should work with you FOR FREE- maybe a mom who has gone through this already…Try “Tyler Collins” on FACEBOOK, she is in Eastern Kentucky! peace and love to u
Child support and visitation are two different things. They are also separate from custody.
If he has not seen his daughter, and DOESN’T CARE TO SEE HIS CHILD, why are you asking him for permission to do ANYTHING? Why involve him in any decisions? I simply wouldn’t ask. You know he is going to deny whatever you are wanting. It’s power. Don’t go out of your way to give an absentee, non-supportive, bio parent this power.
Please consult an attorney. It appears you need to establish “sole custody” based on the other parent’s lack of interest and lack of involvement.
Please realize that if you tie child support to this motion, he may fight you. Especially if you are dealing with an abusive ex. It appears child support – or not paying child support – is a motivation for him and not being involved. Obtain custody first. Take advantage of his willing lack of involvement.
