Ex hasn't seen daughter in 18 months, and has paid no child support
Hi, my ex hasn't seen my daughter since March 2008. I have full physical custody and, we share legal custody. He was ordered to pay child support in May 2008. The judge also stated I could have the support payments start from the day I petioned the papers and, that he would also have to pay interest for the back support. Well, here I am 18 months later, and he hasn't seen her, or paid me one penny of support. I petioned the court for him not paying child support and, to also have the visitation order amended. I asked for him to have no legal custody and, no visitation because he hasn't seen her for so long. He has 3 other children besides my daughter. He has a son that is 1, and 2 daughters that are 5 and 7. He signed his rights over to the 2 girls when my daughter was 2 months old. She is 26 months old now. He is still with the woman that is his son's mother. My question is we go to court Tuesday, and since he has chose to not see her, and not pay any child support can the courts suspend his rights? Can I bring up the fact that he has 2 other children that he gave up? If he gives up his rights when we go to court will the judge still order him to pay the back child support that is owed right now? Any help would be greatly appreciated! :confused:
