Fathers Complain That Visitation and Timesharing Orders Aren’t Enforced as Vigorously as Child Support Orders
Ohio Father and Mother have Daughter.
Father and Mother divorce.
Father is awarded visitation and timesharing.
Father is behind in his child support payments.
Mother allegedly withholds timesharing since April.
Father, who has served time for nonpayment of child support, questions why child support orders are enforced with jail, but visitation orders aren’t enforced at all.
More likely, the parents trying to enforce timesharing orders are not going about it the proper way to obtain results under the law. Generally, that will be a contempt proceeding initiated by a motion for contempt.
Under Florida law, timesharing is separate and independent of payment of child support.
