Can a custodial parent be ordered to pay child support?
In cases where one parent has full custody of the child, the other parent is typically ordered to pay child support to the custodial parent. The amount of child support that a party must pay depends on the state law where the child support order is issued.
What rights does a parent paying child support have?
Parents have obligations to their children, such as an obligation to financially maintain them, and provide for their welfare, but they do not have rights to children, like a right to spend time with their children.
What happens if you deny visitation?
MOST IMPORTANTLY: YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO DENY VISITATION BECAUSE THE OTHER PARENT IS NOT PAYING CHILD SUPPORT. THE VISITING PARENT MAY BE MAKING A RECORD OF EACH DENIAL OF HIS/HER VISTATION. YOU MAY LOSE CUSTODY OF YOUR CHILD(REN).
When can a child be removed from their home?
Under the law, FACS or NSW Police only remove children if they are considered to be “at immediate risk of serious harm”. This is a serious action and a decision not taken lightly by DCJ. DCJ may have to move the child or young person to a safe place.
