Legal Question in Family Law in District of Columbia
Father has full custody, mother has visitation and vacation rights and is court-ordered to pay child support to father. Mother has not paid child support for years. What rights does the mother have? Can father deny mother visitation and vacation rights? Deny the mother rights to have contact with the child?
1 Answer from Attorneys
The mother is currently in contempt for failing to pay child support. Therefore, you should file a petition for contempt to obtain back child support.
If you withhold the child during her visitation, she can file a petition for contempt. I know it's the natural response to withhold visitation. However, the court will still see it has contempt if you violate the visitation order.
If you need assistance to file the petiiton, I am available to discuss the matter further.
