He's not letting me see my children because I'm behind on my child support. Can he do that?

Legally, no. He is subjecting himself to contempt of Court which may carry jail time and a $500.00 fine. Visitation and Child Support are two separate obligations. It doesn't matter if you owe $1,000.000.00 in back child support, the other party cannot withhold the children. Likewise, it doesn't matter if the other party never sees the children at all, (and that's fine with you), she still has to pay the child support.

In some instances, I can handle these types of cases for a nominal fee. It depends on the facts of the case.

What Rita's Clients Say

My wife committed fraud and actually got Orders entered against me.  I don't know what my wife told the Judge. Nobody would even let me see the Orders she got against me, much less let me have a copy.  They were not available online, either mysteriously. Yet, the Orders affected my rights as to my property and my children. Inconceivable! Rita Boyd protected my rights when nobody else could or would.
