11. Legally, the two are not connected.

Edited on Mon Dec-11-06 05:46 AM by AtomicKitten

Paying child support is mandatory and is completely unrelated to visitation. It is the law. I suspect most of these men are bolting because they just don't want to pay. A father can petition the court for visitation and that can be enforced.

One can easily represent themselves in Family Court without an attorney. There are many Legal Aid groups in cities that assist people in modifying support, visitation, etc.

However, again, child support and visitation are not related and one is not incumbent upon the other in a court of law.
