my ex-fiance told me that she could refuse child support if she wanted to and i wouldn't be allowed to see my baby. she also said she could keep me from seeing it because i was in anger management and i went through alcoholic classes, and they could call me unfit or something like that. is that true? because it just seems that would make me look like i was trying to become a better person. neither the a.m. or the alcohol rehab was ordered by courts or anything, it was voluntary.
No, she can't do that. I don't even know if she can voluntarily give up cs, and CHILD SUPPORT and VISITATION have nothing to do with one another. That is rule #1. Rule #2 is, if you are the biological parent, you have every right to seek visitation and/or custody of the child. Since you said ex-fiance, make sure you have proven thru the courts that you are bio dad, you have got to get a paternity test to prove that since you were not married before the birth.
Good luck, and yes, voluntary treatment of any illness should be considered a positive, rather than a negative.
