Questions
Can I prevent visitation if child support payments are overdue?
No. Visitation rights remain separate from child support obligations to protect children's best interests.
Should I intervene in my spouse's child visitation disputes?
Avoid direct involvement. Support your spouse while allowing them to handle parenting matters independently.
At what age can children decide custody arrangements?
California law doesn't specify a set age. Courts consider mature children's preferences case-by-case.
Must I enforce visitation when my child resists?
Address concerns through parent communication. Encourage positive father-child engagement while maintaining court-ordered schedules.
How can I ensure consistent child support payments?
Request wage assignment orders through the court for automatic paycheck deductions from the paying parent.
Can I require college support after child turns 18?
No. Child support terminates at 18 (or 19 if still in high school) under California law.
