You are required to pay child support through the courts. Your child support is not a payment that allows you to see your child. It is a payment for the support of the child to assist with their basic needs for clothes, food, bills, extra curricular activities and more. This is not a payment that gives you the right to see your child. The courts will never tell you that you cannot see your child because you missed a payment. The courts want you to see your child and spend as much time with your child as possible. If the child support payments need to be modified because you don’t make enough money and you spend a lot of parenting time with the child, then they will lower the payments.

If you have divorce papers and parenting time spelled out on paper that says you get your son or daughter the first and third weekend of every month, then that is your legal time with your child. If your ex-wife won’t answer the phone or the door or tells you that you cannot see your child until you pay them money can land the woman in jail. Bring a police officer with you over to the home on your specified date with your paperwork that proves you get time with your child. Your ex-wife will be ticketed by the police and have to stand in front of your judge. When the judge sees that she is playing games with you and trying to make decisions only the judge would make, this could cost her custody altogether.

Child support is not a payment for child custody rights. It is a payment for your child’s needs that you must pay because you love your kid. If you are denied by your ex time with your child because of defaulting on child support, she could go to jail. It is a felony for the charge of spousal interference.
