Re: child support/custody
If there is an order for visitation to the dad for 4 to 6 weeks during the summer, this does not give him grounds to go after custody.
However, if there are grounds for him to go after custody, he can do so at any time, not just because he has them for this summer visit.
If he is ordered to pay a certain amount of child support per month, and the order doesn't state that he can stop paying during his visitation periods, then he can't stop paying just because he has them for a few weeks during the summer. Usually, this visitation period is taken into consideration when support is ordered, so he can't simply not pay.
