Re: child support/ visitation

The Court views child support and visitation as separate (though related) issues. The failure to do one does not justify the failure to deny the other. It's like the old saying that "two wrongs don't make a right." Therefore, the short answer to your question is "no."

These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
