I completely understand what you are saying. The mother just recently told my husband that she knew who the father was as a way of threatening him. Could he contact who this father is, and inform him of the situation. She has always attempted to control him by saying that she would cut his daughther out of his life if he ever got remarried, now he is married and he never gets to see her. Even though he has visitation rights she refuses to let him see her. He has not had contact with the child in over six months, and has become enraged and does not want to pay anymore. I was just wondering possible options.

First it is not his place to contact the alleged father. Obviously the mother plays games so you can't go by what she says.

As to not getting visitation, if its court ordered, then he should go back to the court and have them enforce it. She can be jailed for contempt of court if she refuses to comply with a court order.

Visitation and child support are different things.
BTW because Ohio has pissy legislation let me to suggest an idea.File for full legal and phisical custody! Call the Police that she does not observe the court order when he has visitation and ask for assistance!! Ask for set up an inquiry about her financial possibilities for rising a child... and provoke her to act and play.

I forgot... take the police reports that she does not allow him to visit the girl.It is VERY USEFUL in the Court

If he had visitation rights then I am assuming you mean "court ordered" if so, he need to take her to court and have her held in contempt of a court order.

As GV and Scott have said visitation and child support are two separate things... she can't refuse visitation if he doesn't pay... and he can't stop paying if she doesn't let him see the child.

Thank you so much, I apperciate everybody's feedback. I do not have any children and I was just wondering how I could help him with the child support issue. I guess my real focus should be on if there is a way not to pay for support. We know that the money is spent on the mother because she does not have a job and has not even attempted to look ofr one. I was just wondering if there was a case that another biological father was out therem then maybe there was a chance that he did not have to pay. It's not the fact that he DOES NOT want to see his daughter, but based on the fact that the mother has lied so much now it has become a case where the daughther has no interest in even talking to him. Is there ANY possible way out of support?

The only way I can see out of support is to file for custody.
