should a custodial parent receive child support if they refuse visitation ?

[lowbeam397]

Over 40% of those getting child support deny the other parent access to the children, so it is not just some. The rates are down from 1990 when it was 60% according to the HHS study, Survey of Absent Parents.

It does cost society far more for fatherless children than all the child support owed.

Though generally the one is not linked to the other, one can petition the court to freeze the payment pending resolution of access rights. IN Missouri, that can be done through the child support enforcement office.

Finally, enforcing access rights does not require the use of an attorney.

I'm looking for volunteers to record a example of how to collect evidence of denial of access rights.

For 22 years, I have volunteered my time working with divorced/single fathers dealing in family law issues, such as child support, teaching them about what the states are not telling support obligors.
