Child Support and Visitation

A major focus of many divorces is the arrangements made for child support and visitation. This is because it is the one connection remaining between the couple and can often become a source of frustration or friction. There are many laws around child support and visitation and the parent who resists or refuses to obey the rulings of the judge may find themselves in a great deal of trouble. The parent who refuses to pay their court ordered child support, or the parent who makes it impossible for the other to enjoy their visitation rights may end up in contempt and even behind bars. All parents have rights, and if these rights were specifically discussed in a divorce case, then it is unwise to thwart them. All judges rule on visitation or custody based on the children's best interest, and a caring parent will respect such orders.
