It depends on the court. My brother has a 11 yr old daughter. He was required to pay child support. The officer said he does not necessarily get to see his daughter just because he pays support. The social services indicate to the judge how they want the case handled. It depends. sometimes the case can be held over and the ruling of visitations be set later. Good luck either side you are on. Child support thing is hard on the parents and especially the child. Always remember the child. This life does affect them always. I know I came from a broken home too.

The answer may vary from state to state but in MOST states the answer is NO. That is a visitation/custody hearing. And don't let people tell you if you haven't been you can go demand to see your child because you cannot. The parent the child resides with doesn't HAVE to be nice (although they should unless they suspect abuse of some kind) and let visitation take place UNTIL its ordered. I might add that it will look bad AND vindictive if the parents won't let the child visit each other. Also try to remember no matter WHAT has happened between the two parents THAT child loves you both, don't make them choose or talk bad about each other. Also try to respect and SUPPORT each others decisions on behalf of the childs welfare because if you argue and act childish yourselves you can't very well expect the child to "understand " what is going on.

Yes. Visitation is either taken care of during the child support hearing, or in the case of a divorce, at the divorce decree. Also, do not let anybody give you the idea that the absent parent may not get a chance to see their child. Tha tis bull****. In most states, the absent parent get visitation, unless they are considered adanger to the child, and for those people who refuse to allow a parent to see their child, if there is an order of visitation in place, and you violate it, it is an automatic contempt of court if the absent parent chooses to report it and you can go to jail, and that is even if the absent parent has not piad a cent. Check your state laws on this, becuase some people think they are justified in doing this.
