What should I do if my ex-husband won't let me see the child? Here's your chance to change custody!

Many people's intuitive reaction is "If you don't show me the child, I won't give you child support. " Of course we don't recommend this! Obstruction of visitation rights refers to the fact that after a couple divorces , the other party intentionally refuses to see the children, causing the children to gradually become estranged from the parties concerned. Legally, visitation rights have nothing to do with alimony . On the contrary, if you really don't pay child support , there is still a way for the other party to ask you through legal procedures , and because your behavior affects the interests of your children, it will also affect the methods to be introduced next!
