I need legal advice please. Please help.?

I live in NYC, and my ex-wife (lives in Jamaica) is suing me for child support.I am have remarried.I know the courts do not care about non-custodial parents and what their obligations are, but I have never been able to reach an agreement concerning my child with the ex-wife. I have also never been unwilling to support my child. I stopped sending money to her, when she cut me and my family off from the child.


It has been over a year, and I do not know whether my child is alive or dead. She refuses to allow me to speak with my child over the phone. And my brother tries to visit every week, but she always locks the child in the house, and refuses to let him see the child. I have requested copies of the report card and school bill, and she has refused. I have called the school, and the principal claims that she has no knowledge of my child in attendance.I have no proof that monies I have sent are even benefiting my child. I need advice as to how to prepare myself when I go to court.I need legal advice please. Please help.?
It doesnt matter what she wants. The court said $200, thats what she gets. As far as not allowing access to your child. Take her to court and let them smack her down for you.I need legal advice please. Please help.?
That stuff can be settled or go on for years; but one thing is for sure....your child needs to eat and be clothed and it is partially your responsibility financially whether you and exwifey can get your acts together or not...so don't be a sad *** bum...pay your child support...it is for the child.
Visitation and child support are independent issues. In other words, someone cannot refuse visiting due to non payment of child support. Which means the same as if she denies visitation (and you have a valid court order), you don't get to stop paying child support.


The question, of course, is WHERE IS JURISDICTION? If she is violating any court order, you have to bring it to court. Of course, if Jamaica has control of the custody issues, their laws will take precedence.


If you say you have never reached agreement.. sounds like there is no support order that clarifies it. If you can't agree, the valid court needs to set it.


Remember, I'm not a lawyer, and am just telling you what I believe are the standards. You have to consult a lawyer.
