Hey. The mother of my boyfriend's child claims that if she cancels child support then he's giving up the right to his child. That isn't true is it? And what do you need to do to get joint physical custody of your child? She never lets him see his baby and she's completely childish. She only does this because of me and his relationship and after the 2 years and 2 months me and him have been together she still hasn't gotten over him. Can anybody help? We live in GA if that helps. Thanks in advance.

you need to get an attorney. if there is court ordered child support then the mother can't just cancel it. a judge would not be likely to "cancel" child support either.
if he has been to court over this than visitation should have been established, if it wasn't then it needs to be back in court. if it has and she is keeping the child from him anyway, then she can get into trouble for doing it.
the courts are looking more to equal time and fathers rights these days so your bf should get a fair shake with the court system.

I know this is hard to understand but child support and visitation/custody are two totally separate issues governed by the same court.
What I think you're talking about is her telling the court that the child support is paid. Not sure why she'd want to do that, though, but no, it wouldn't affect his visitation/custody. There are only two entities who can terminate parental rights: the parent volunteerily doing it and the court doing it for you.
If your boyfriend wants visitation/cusody, he needs to get a lawyer and/or file papers with the court. Good luck and don't believe her, ask a lawyer!

canceling child support does not cancel the rights to the other parent..and it is possible for her to refuse the father of seeing the kid..cause there is nothing in writing..so if she does cancel it..he should file child support on his own self...there for it will be in writing that he has the right ot see the kid...im going thru a child support matter for over 1 yr now..so i guess u can say im the 411 on child support..lol...hope this helps!

I m a company believer that youngster help calculations and money might desire to be remodeled. Regardless if the father or the mummy is the non-custodial determine, the calculations might desire to be sensible. I ve seen too many non-custodial dad and mom categorized "ineffective beats" because of the fact they can't arise with the money for to stay themselves whilst they pay horrendously large new child help money. I m ill to death of listening to human beings say, "Get a 2d interest." beneficial, no concern in this economic gadget (completely sarcastic remark). Oh, and with working 2 jobs, now how is the non-custodial determine envisioned to spend any time, much less high quality time with their new child? no longer very available. i believe that the custodial determine ought to offer receipts to account for the youngster help funds. Why? because of the fact all too generally the youngster (or toddlers) that funds is to help pass with out because of the fact the custodial determine is paying for themselves issues, going to stay shows, out eating, and so on. It took 2 human beings to convey the youngster (or toddlers) into the international and the non-custodial determine is being held in charge to pay help, so the custodial determine must additionally be in charge on how that funds is spent.

You need a good lawyer to go the court route and ask questions to him

This all is decided by a family court judge.
