Answer 1

oh yes he should still support his child. My oldest son is 16, and has never ever met his biological father and he pays his childsupport everymonth.. only bc if he dosnt he goes to jail and will loose his drivers license.. He told me he never wanted to see his son.. or have anything to do with him.. he even tried to get me to let him sign over his parental rights just so he could get married he said.. come to find out he just wanted out of child support.. i didnt let him sign them over to me and hes payed ever since... my sons dads family ownes a business in another state, and i had a friend tell me not to sign the papers bc nathen would loose his inheretence, tho its not all about the money, but it would help my son out in the future..
sorry for the very long thread on this question

Answer 2

Absolutely!!! One does not have anything to do with the other. In this case the woman has the burden of all the financial & emotional support and a man's duty to help does not end with ejaculation.

I believe the same in the flip side. If the father fails to pay child support he should still be able to see the child.....that is if he is a positive influence on the kid.

Answer 3

A man should never have to pay child support unless he wants to. Men should have the same reproductive rights as women. A woman can decide to end the pregnancy or keep the child or adopt it out. Men should have an equal say about it. If a man doesn't want a kid, he shouldn't be forced to pay for it.

Answer 4

Yes he does still have to pay child support. If the said person no longer wants anything to do with the child then he may give up his parantal rights to the child. Be advised however this is permanent. After doing this I don't believe child support will be an issue.

Answer 5

In Michigan, child support and parenting time are considered separately. A non-custodial parent is required to pay child support regardless of how often they see there child. In Michigan if they meet more than 128 overnights, they will get a discount in child support, but is still required to pay. Thus, in conclusion, a biological parent has an obligation to support their children and thus should pay child support, regardless of how often they see the children. However, if he is in jail or prison, it is hard to get money from someone without a job.

Answer 6

In most states the statutes say that support is owed independent of any adverse behavior of the person required to pay support.

However, if your behavior precludes you from seeing your child and you are paying support, unless the behavior is ajudged so detrimental to the best interest of the child (such as molestation or abuse), then you can petition the court for an arrangement (usually supervised) to see your child. Eventually as you prove yourself, you may be able to see your child unsupervised.

Answer 7

Yes you should pay child support because the child still has needs. It is your job to still support the child. When the child is an adult you could then see the child and he or she would know that you loved them deeply, to still send money even though you could see him or her. And trying to make ends meet on one income is very difficult. Especially when they get older and their needs are more expensive.

Answer 8

Unless you are in jail, partook in domestic violence or child molestation or abuse, you should have the right to see your children.

You should contact an attorney. You may get to have supervised visits if it is nothing as serious as the above.

And Starleta is partially correct. I did Child Support in AZ and the amount of visitation is tied to the amount paid in AZ. The amount you have to pay increases if the child doesn't spend a certain amount of time with you. The issue of visitation and Child Support are separted in Maricopa Cty (I am not sure of Pima). In the other counties the issue imay be decided together.

Answer 9

Yes. The law separates visitation and child support. They are two separate issues and even if he never sees the child, he still helped create the child and is therefore still held financially responsible for the welfare of the child.

Answer 10

Yes, absolutely. That man helped 50% to make that child, and he should contribute 50% of the funds to raise that child to an adult.
