Re: child custody and child support

A parent who has abused the other parent is limited in his right to have custody and visitation. Further if he is convicted of a crime that requires registering as a sex offender, he would be limited to supervised visitation. Contact the local child support enforcement agency and they will file the necessary documents to get a support order.
