Legal Answers
445 Questions Answered
- Q. How to handle visitation when father is not legitimized?
- A: The parties can decide their own visitation outside of the courts. But if the father is unable to come to an agreement with the mother on visitation without court intervention, he will have to file an action to legitimize and he can then seek some form of custody & visitation. Child support will also be a part of the case if there isn't already an order for the minor child involved.
- Q. I recently got divorced and won sole custody and sole placement.. can I apply for child support and win?
- A: I'm unsure why child support was not adjudicated in your divorce as the divorce should have included child custody, child support and visitation. But you can always apply for child support as long as the child meets the requirements for support. And if you have someone whose income may be difficult to prove, I would consider hiring an attorney to handle the case instead of going through a state agency.
- Q. I have a GA custody order( I live in GA-ATL). Kids live in FL with Mom and she will not follow the court order.
- A: As long as you still live in GA any contempt action you file must be filed in GA. Then you have the mother served and the action moves forward in GA. Speak with an attorney who can assist you.
