pending child support case? I applied for child support in Nevada and I have moved to a different state. My son's father has not been in contact with me; neither has his family at all. I never received notice that my case was pending or anything. He now is threatening me with kidnapping charges because I didn't notify him or the courts that I was moving and where I was moving to. He hasn't made any attempts until now to see his son and i'm afraid that he might have the upper hand because of this issue. Please help
 
Your not supposed to. Legally he is the father, and expected to pay child support, so he has the right to know where your son is. You need to get an attorney, if you can't afford one contact your local legal aide office, they pick up cases like this for no charge. If the court has ordered a custody agreement and he has visitation you need to explain that to your attorney as well, it could be a problem. Just make sure to explain your reasoning, that he had not made any attempts to see your son, etc. Hopefully he won't push this to far. Also if you are out of state he may try to use that to get longer visitation, be prepared for this. Good luck with everything.
 
no. but you should let the ag know where you are so they can keep you up to speed.
i was just in court a month ago seeking justice for some past due child support (5k)...there was a guy there who claimed that his ex-wife had moved all over the country with the kid and that he could not locate them...this was of little consequence to the judge and he immediately ordered the guy to pay up...i wasn't so fortunate.

it's not you that's in trouble here...he's just looking for a way out of the situation.

if there is no visitation order in place keeping you from moving, then you are good to hook.

Yes, and the father irregardless of your animosity or his lack of attentiveness cannot be denied visitation if there is no court order barring him. I would contact an attorney and make an effort to appease the father. Good luck
