Child Support?

Sorry but I don't think thats fair for you to ask that. I don't know your situation, but if you make a baby with someone and you expect them to share in the financial part, they deserve to be a real parent by getting to spend time with and share in those special moments in their childs life.
A judge is the one who would make that choice, not you. And the father would have to be an alcoholic, a drug user, an abuser, a child molestor or something bad like that to not get visitation.

This is why I think every woman needs to stop and ask herself one question before she sleeps with a man. WOULD I BE ABLE TO SHARE A CHILD WITH THIS MAN AND HAVE HIM IN MY LIFE FOR THE NEXT 18+ YEARS IF A CHILD RESULTED FROM THIS?

In most cases, depending on what state you reside, child support and child visitation are two separate issues. The only way for the obligated parent to end child support is to sign away his / her rights to the child. But if the visitation rights were removed by the courts, for safety reasons, the individual still has a financial obligation to the child.

You can apply for child support and not bring up visitation. Here in NH the father can apply through the court if he would like legal visitation rights. But remember if you do not file for full custody (giving him the chance at visitation) and he shows up to pick your child up and take him/her you can do nothing. He can't kidnap his child if there is no orders.
Make sure you don't lie to get your way. This will only hurt your child.

unless for safety reasons the other parent shouldn't know where the child or you are located there isn't a likelihood of support w/ no visitation. If there is no safety reasons and a judge sets up some sort of visitation and the other parent doesn't show up that is fine for you. but, if they are given visitation and you deny access, you could be taken to court for violating a parenting plan. which in the long run could cost you custody of your child. You need to consult a lawyer if you can't afford a lawyer you need to consult legal aid. I divorced before parenting plans became the thing. so my divorce states visitation as reasonable and customary. so pretty much has always been up to my discretion. I want my children to spent time with there dad if and when possible (we know live 1750 miles away so doesn't happen much)
as for my husband his divorce included a parenting plan. due to the wife's unstable history it is very specific. (i re-wrote his divorce and parenting plan) we get every other weekend. the weekend before the child's birthday. 4 weeks every summer things of this nature (but due to our distance this isn't being kept up) we lived 140 miles away when the papers were originally done.

In Ohio. Child support and Visitations is 2 diff courts. It just depends on how the courts are run in your state. Here you apply for child support they do the dna test... and bam they establish child support then its up to the father if he wants to file for visitations and thats a whole sepreate court case.

Yes, you can. It is up to the judge. Especially if the other parent does not pursue visitation rights, gives up parental rights, doesn't show up in court, etc. There could be other circumstances that the judge would rule supervised or no visitation rights (registered sex offender, for example). It also sometimes depends on who has the best lawyer or the most money [sad, but true].

Yes, at least in Ohio, but he would have the right to 'request' it, but if you have good reasons against it, the Judge will hear you...

Good Luck,
If you don't live in Ohio, call your local child support agency.

Only a judge can tell you that and there has to be one heck of a great reason not to let him see his child.

Only if the other parent doesn't want visitation or you can prove them unfit to have visits.
