my sons bialogical father
6 years ago I divorced my first husband and I got sole custody of him.. and I was wondering what does sole custody entitle? and also he was suppose to be paying me child support he made one payment and that's it.. and I was wondering I really dont want to go after him for child support because I am afraid that he will try to want to start seeing his son.. I have spoken to him a few times online and thats it, can you give me any advice? thank you

Re: my sons bialogical father
Sole legal custody entitles one parent to make all day-to-day decisions concerning the child, without the necessity of contacting the other parent. It appears that you need to take action to collect the child support that has already accrued. Parenting time is a separate issue, although we understand your reasoning that pursuit of child support may cause the father to pursue parenting time. Your decision ultimately depends on whether you are happy with the status quo.
