I have a daughter who is owed child support (she is 3). He has 2 other children by 2 different mothers. They already have orders for child support on the 2 other children (3 different children, 3 different mothers). What is my daughters percentage? My daughter is the middle child if that make a difference. He hasn't given any money for 34 months and has had 4 different jobs since then, how is that added up for retro?
He is also wanting standard visitation (every other weekend). He hasn't visited her in 35 months. What can I request the visitation be until she knows him well enough to have standard visitation? He visits one of his children every other weekend and the other child gets a visit from him whenever he feels like it to visit although he has an order to visit the child every other weekend.

It doesn't matter about the order of the births of the children involved when it comes to figuring out who gets the most money. What matters is who filed for child support first. If the other two mothers filed paperwork before you did, they will get more money and you will get whatever is left over, up to the percentage limit allowed by GA law.
Until the order is signed by the judge, he doesn't owe any support. If there was a court order in place for the past 34 months, he will owe you the total that was ordered. IF there was no order for that period of time, he doesn't owe you any money for that time.
Because he hasn't seen her in so long, you can request that the visits be supervised for the first few months or year. This will give your daughter the chance to get to know him before he is given overnight visitation.
If he does get visitation given by the court, that still doesn't mean that he will have to pay the support. They are two separate issues, and he can still exercise his vistation rights even if he fails to support your daughter.
If you ever get remarried, you could ask him to give up his parental rights in exchange for you dropping child support and any child support arrears. You would need to be in a stable marriage for at least 1 year, and your husband must be willing to adopt your daughter.
Good luck in your life.

Girl, the best thing you can do is see if he will turn over his parental rights legally. Yes, this would mean that you wouldn't get child support, but chances are this "dead beat dad" isn't going to pay child support anyway. He is truly a sperm donor. This would also sever his rights to ever seeing your child again, which obviously doesn't mean anything to him, but will be in your child's best interest. I believe he will use his visitation rights with your child to get at you and could care less about your child as he hasn't seen her since she was very small. I wouldn't allow him to see her until you go to court and explain the situation to a judge. The judge will probably require many supervised visits before he can take her anywhere. Secondly, if you decide not to ask him to give up his parental rights, go after child support, which he probably will not pay, but let me tell you something great about this. This child support that is owed will go on his credit report and stay there forever..... did you here me forever...... Because of the business I am in, I know there are three things on your credit report that will kill your chances of having any credit at all, that is back taxes, student loans in collections, and child support. Another great thing, is any professional licenses he may want to obtain, i.e. real estate, CDL, drivers license, etc., he will not be able to get. Good luck!

Your rationalization for action is to petition the courtroom to be sure paternity and set up baby help. bear in mind that throughout the time of all cases the abiding judicial theory is "the wonderful hobbies of the baby" If he knows he's the father then confident he can consent to paternity and baby help would be ordered. he's entitled to visitation and bear in mind visitation isn't suitable to the fee of baby help. If he seeks visitation the courtroom will in all probability supply it absent a showing that visitation would be detrimental to the baby...and your opinion isn't evidence of detriment.it is in all probability if he contests paternity you will the two be in attendance on an identical listening to. time-physique in case you start is a wager no longer understanding how subsidized up the courtroom equipment is. in step with probability 3-6 months if he contests. a million month after the listening to if he agrees. His status as a pupil only impacts the preliminary volume of help no longer no count if it is granted...it will be granted. seem online for Dissolution courtroom circumstances interior the State of Texas and consider the statute. it is rather particular approximately custody, visitation and help. solid success.

Contact the office of the attorney general. I'd also speak to a lawyer regarding visitation.
If he doesn't opt to see the children, nobody can force him to, but they can remove his visitation/parental rights.
