do i have to send diapers for visitation with non custodial parent?

I would send enough for the first few hours, unless you are dropping your kid off at night. The other parent should provide everything unless they don't see the kid regularly. If they only see your child...say...once a month for a weekend, I would bring enough for a day, they should provide anything that won't spoil. But if it is a regular arrangement (evenings from 5-9 or every other weekend), they should have everything they need on hand, from bottles to diapers to formula. Good luck!

that's not true. the children still have to eat, so money doesn't have anything to do with visitation. just like visitation can't be witheld because of no child support, it also goes for the other way around!

They would have to declare you unfit as a parent, I believe.  You would be notified in the form of service, either personally or by mail, depending on the laws of the state you are in.  If they have had such a hearing and you neglected to be there, that would probably not work in your favor.  \n\nI would recommend you get a lawyer to assist you in this matter.

The birth mother has a right to reasonable visitation. Sometimes the terms of the legal guardianship indicate that the parent may have reasonable visitation "as determined by the guardian."  If visitation cannot be agreed to informally, the birth mother or guardian can ask the court to make a visitation order. The court will be guided by what is in the best interest of the children.

If your unhappy get out... Make sure you have enough money saved up to live on for 6 months because you need to have a new place to live and take care of your child... YOu then file for child support and set the visitation limits... everyother weekend should be enough... Best of Luck to you

check with your lawyer before going. i have family that are divorced and they have to sign forms allowing their kids to leave the state even for a short amount of time...be safe.

I agree with you.  When a parent doesn't use their right to visitation, then suddenly wants it all, that has got to do damage to a child.  The system is so overloaded that they can't do a case by case review and then limit visitation for an elusive parent.\n\nIf you can, try to talk to your ex and explain what your child's fears are.  See if before he takes him for 6 weeks, he will visit him as much as possible.

Yes.. They're both mutually exclusive.. If you don't pay child support, you're still entitled to "parenting time" a.k.a. visitation rights..And if you don't have "parenting time", you're still obligated to pay child support (though you should contact a lawyer and have your "parenting time" enforced by a court order).

some of the answers have valid points, the one that you have not maid is if the children are truely yours, this can be tested, It may be difficult to think they are not yours. but you must be sure. as to visitation she must be willing to meet you half way, its the law. as to your inability to pay, you can request that the amounts be adjusted due to your change/loss of income. and third, On a personal note, I find it difficult to swallow that when it comes to children a woman can terminate that child before birth without the father having any legal right to choose to keep the child, yet the mother gets rewarded child support even after she starts another relationship, and can move away making the father and children suffer. the laws need to change. the men never count when it comes to children, the law should require that if the mother chooses to move out of the town where the couple resided together, she should be responsilbe for all cost involved in transportation for the child to visit the father or loose any monitary contribution from the father if she chose to move away.

NO.  you must have your Family Care plan in place at all times.  if you do not, you will seperated and lose out on all of your benefits for failing to maintain readiness.  \n\nit's an insult to every other parent out there, single or otherwise who manage to do their duty without shirking their responsibilities to country and kin.

unfortunately, even if you had sole custody of your daughter, you may not be able to leave the state without a court order specifically stating that you have permission to do so...\n\nsad but true

yes, child support is payment, while visitation is discussed separately

He shouldn't be allowed visitation without paying child support.  That is what I was told when I got divorced, and even though my ex can be a raving *itch sometimes, she gets her check, and I get my visit....\n\nThat's just the way the world works.  Your lawyer should not only speak for you, but should insist that visitations be stopped until child support is enforced.\n\nAlso, I agree with the continuation, based on your current condition.\n\nBest of luck to you....

Well, You can go to court real quick and ask the court. According the the visitation agreement my husband has with his ex (we have custody) There is no first right of refusal and alls each party has to provide is a written letter 30 days before vacation and information on how to contact, plane flight, etc. \n\nWe were going to take his daughter out of state for vacation, his ex refused, we went to court and the judge clearly stated each party has the right to go on vacation with the daughter there is no right to refusal. UNLESS, there is proof (documented) that you are not going to give the child back.\n\nFile a motion, you dont need a lawyer, it is real easy I have written ALL ofmy husbands paperwork for court and he has won every time.

Sounds like you are NOT a biological parent, but somehow raised the children as a custodial parent.  That is not good news for you.  Generally you have little chance to win any kind of visitation. \nI am sorry you will probably have to wait until the children reach the legal age.

When you said that you caught her in a wet and messy diaper i knowed she was into wearing diapers so i am not surprised This can be a start of something for both of you just LET her wear them it ain't hurting you or her to be in a diaper. Its OK you will get use to seeing her in them and when she ain't in one you will wonder why. It just takes time to get use to a change in your life. But i woulden worry about it keep asking her why because i bet she don't even know why she likes to wear diapers its a obsessive compulsive disorder and its her way of dealing with things in her life so just support her and love her DON'T put her down for what she dose. If you woule like to talk about this with me send me an e-mail and i will resopnd

Do you want contact with your children? Then you need to step up and fight for them. California is pretty fair when it comes to dads. Your children have legal rights to have contact with you. Unless you are found unfit for some reason.  Do you have a court order? You need to find an attorney within the jurisdiction from the lastest court order. Good luck and you really need fight for this. Your kids need to have contact with their father, it may scar them for life you don't want them to think you abandoned them do you?
