are fathers required to pay child support to mothers who deny them rights of the child?

Answer 1

Child support isn't a contract to break. If child support is ordered by the court, it's required until the child reaches 18 or there's a change issued by the court. The denial of the father's rights is a separate issue for the courts to decide, not the mother.

Answer 2

No one can legally deny parental or custodial or visitation rights. Only the court can do that.

Legal custody usually rests with the mother upon birth IF the parents are unmarried (but I know of a case where the mother delivered her baby under the influence of major drugs and the father was granted legal custody before the baby even left the hospital). There usually isn't a visitation/custody order set up unless it is ordered in a divorce decree, or like the above example, there was some reason to change the initial legal custody.

But a child support order can be issued regardless of whether a custody/visitation order is made. This is usually free through the Child Support Enforcement Agency in your county. If the assistance of the Agency is requested by the custodial parent (sometimes forced if he/she is receiving state funded assistance like a welfare check), the agency will usually perform a free DNA test. It usually has to be requested by some party involved. Once paternity is established, the child support order can proceed. Many times, it is decided in the relaxed atmosphere of the child support office with the mother, father, and an officer of the court who is looking out for the best interest of the child (monitarily at least), and this officer of the court works for the child support enforcement agency. One can challenge the child support order, but this will go in front of the family court judge and the non-custodial parent will want to get an attorney. The custodial parent can get his/her own attorney but doesn't have to - the Child Support Enforcement Agency has it's own attorney who sides with the child, hence their attorney sides with the custodial parent.

If the parents are unmarried, visitation/custody will MSUT go through family court and both sides should have an attorney for that. If the parents are divorced/separated, the custody/visitation will be decided in these agreements. In any case, if visitation is denied, then that parent is in violation of the court order and is subject to its punishment. On the other hand, if the non-custodial parent fails to pay child support, he/she is also in violation and can be punished by losing his/her driver's license, seizing personal property including bank accounts and tax refunds, and possibly a warrant for the violator's arrest.

When making payments for a child support order, any payments NOT made through the order are considered a gift. I don't believe that a signed receipt of payment will help in court if the payment is not made through the Child Support Enforcement Agency, but it may depend on the order.

One person I know was the non-custodial parent. He WANTED to give up his parental rights so that he wouldn't have to pay child support. The state of Ohio would not let him because they said that each child must have two parents or the child becomes a ward of the state. Since the mother did not want to give up her parental rights (and basically give her child to the state), he was unable to give up his rights and the child support order stuck. If it was up to the mother, she would have gladly let him give up his rights, but the great state of Ohio wouldn't let her.

Answer 3

Yes...you want to see your child...go to court and get a visitation order...but if there is a child support order there is no justification for not paying.

Answer 4

yes you are required to continue to pay support however you have the right to request a custody hearing to recieve rights or to fight for custody . i would request a hearing and try for custody if i gained custody i would request she have limited visitation due to mental abuse pt on the child and i would ask the judge for support paymenyts.

Answer 5

yes. there is a payment order and a visitation order. She cannot deny you visitation if you don't pay and you can't not pay if she denies you visitation. File a contempt of court order if she does

Answer 6

first of all, they are totally TWO different issues, in court as well.

she can get in trouble for denying it and he can get in trouble for not paying it.

neither is conditional.

UNLESS the father has been deemed a threat or danger to the child by a court, then YES the support still has to be paid.
