I am not in Florida....am in Ohio...and I have the same problem. My ex (never married) is on welfare....and I have a good paying job and have paid my child support from day one. The past 3 months though, she has decided to keep my son from me (he's 2 1/2 yrs old) and the only way I can see him...

Yes there was a court order for support when the child was about one year old. And I do have records of my payments. Out of the 2 and one half years..the child may have lived outside of my home about 6 months. The rest of the time I paid child support by the court order Yes, I do want to be...

I do have an attorney and the law says, as long as my name was on the birth certificate and I have paid child support from the beginning that I am legally bound until the age of 18 to that child. Furthermore, my son has known no other Dad from the beginning, and if she cannot locate the real...

It does matter. We are so attached to him.....and actually we think the DNA is screwy because everone says how much he looks like me. So, I can proceed with my lawyer in seeking visitation rights? I read somewhere in the laws that if I had my name on the birth certificate and had been paying...

What is the name of your state?Ohio After 2 and half years, my ex girlfriend had me take a paternity test. I was at the birth and signed the certificate. We lived together off and on, and when she wasn't with me I was paying child support. I supported my son all the 2 and half years of his...

What is the name of your state?Ohio I recently got a court order to have temporary visitation until parental tests come back. I am allowed 6 hrs on Saturday each week. Last weekend she called my lawyer and said my son had been sick all week and he couldn't be there on Sat. I didn't contest it...

Still more questions in our minds here. When speaking of weekends, since he is not enrolled in school and day care is not a "requirement"....is there a possibility my son would get Friday through Monday every other weekend? Also, our first hearing will be before a magistrate. If they cannot...

You could be right. I had thought about further angering her with demanding full custody. The weekend thing though....she is employed at the daycare where he is enrolled and she gets to see him 24 hrs a day through the week....so I don't think it would matter whether or not she got any...

well, you can look at the baby pics of our son and our grandson and there is no doubt whatsoever, but yes.....we will wait for the paternity test this week

What is the name of your state?Ohio To update you, today we had visitation with our grandson for 6 hrs. That's all we were allowed by the court until the paternity test gets back. One more week and hopefully that part will be settled. I think it already is in our minds. It's so sad though...

Thanks, Stealth. Yes, you're right. I tend to over-dominate here. I try not to, but I sit back and see my son hurting so much for no reason. He is working fulltime, is really a good person and when she throws out these allegations and starts destroying my son's character, I can't control my...

This was our theory. If she thought we were going for full custody, she would be more than glad to let us have him every weekend. :)

Lawyer tells us to be careful what we say and do on exchanges. We get to see him again for 6 hrs on Sat. Last Sat she brought a video recorder and gave us a list of things we could do. From making him take a 2 hr nap...no candy, no pop, she would call every hour (unfortunately for her she did...

What is the name of your state?Ohio My son recently had a hearing to get temporary visitation, until paternity is established. His name is on the birth certificate, he has been a major part of his son's life since day one. Never contested the child support court order that was filed and never...

What is the name of your state?Ohio Just talked to a friend and they informed me a good place to make exchanges is at the Sheriff's office. That way if they don't show up, you have Johnny on the Spot enforcement...
