okay, i just wanted some advice.

First a little background. My Pregnancy was unplanned. I was told earlier in life after several misscarrages that i would not be able to have children. The father of my son was just a summer fling.

when I was pregnant the my sons father was supportive. Although we were not together, for good reason he very much wanted to be. After he had mentioned his feelings for me we began to have less contact. He mentioned several times that if we would not be together that he would not be around to help raise my son. Forthermore, if I were to attempt to collect child support, he would one day take my son and go back to Europe and I would never see him again. He also threanted that another possibility would be that he would take his life.

This just really bugs me! I make about $32k per year and this guy is in the six figuers. with child support, my son would live a much more comfortable life style and things would not be so hard financially. I just do not feel that it is worth the risk.

I would never be with him, he is unstable and not father material.

Is it possible to collect child support without his father having visitation rights?

Hi Hunney,
I know this was a concern for me in the past. I live in Maine and I know that here visitaion and custody and support are all seperate issues.
One has nothing to do with the other. I would say contact family services although when i did i got the wrong information. I had to read through my paperwork carefully. That was where i found it.
The one thing i have learned through 10 yrs of battling with the ex is this: don't not so something out of fear. We are all a lot stronger than we think.

Best of luck!

He always has the right. Unless you have substantial evidence suggesting that he is abusive, he will be granted visitation right. There is pretty much nothing you can do about that.
