GETTING OUT

(continued from p. 5)

VISITATION

If you do not have custody of your children, you will still be able to see them. It is very unusual for a parent not to he allowed to see the children.

Before going to court, you and your husband should decide everything about visitation. Things to consider are holidays and birthdays, school vaca-, tions, traveling (especially for long distances), and how a possible move to another state will affect visitation. Make plans for visitation as detailed as possible. This will avoid arguments at a later time.. If you cannot agree, the judge will decide about visitation for you. You should be prepared to tell the judge how often you would like to see the children and what you will do with them when they visit.

If you have custody of the children, you MUST let your husband see them. If you do not, he can go to court and have the court hold you in The contempt. court can also say that your husband no longer needs to pay support, or that he should have custody.

Changing the Visitation Order

If you want to change the visitation order, you must go to court to do so. The court will allow you to change it if you have a good reason. Some possible

reasons are:

1. Your work hours have changed.

2. One person is moving.

3. The father bothers you when he comes to see the children.

This is done by filing a Motion to Modify.

Taking Away Visitation

It is very unusual for the court to take away visitation. The only time it will do so is when the visitation is bad for the children. For example, the parent beats the children or does not take care of them. Sometimes, the court will limit visitation. For example, the father can see the children only if another person is there. The court will not take away visitation just because he is not paying support.

REMEMBER: Visitation is usually good for the children. If your husband is not hurting them, you should not let any bad feelings toward him stop your children from enjoying his visits.

CHILD SUPPORT

Your husband has a duty to financially support the children. If you are able, you may have to help too. You and your husband should agree on how much support will be paid and who will pay it before you go to court. Again, if you do not agree, the judge will make the decision for you. Whether or not you and your husband agree, the judge always has the final decision.

In deciding child support, the following things will be looked at by the judge:

1. Whether the child has any money.

2. How much money each parent makes.

3. How much the parent who has custody needs.

4. How the child would have lived if the parents had stayed together,

5. The child's educational needs.

If your husband pays child support, he usually pays it until the child reaches the age of 18. If the child is in high school past the age of 18, he must pay until the child finishes high school. You can bind him to pay past the required time by putting this in the separation agreement.

How Much Child Support

You should figure out how much child support is needed. To do this you should sit down and make a list of all the money you spend on the children. Include in your list things such as clothing, food, medical and dental care, rent, transportation,

education, allowances, amusements (music lessons, summer camp, movies) and other expenses. You should then talk with your husband about how much each of you can pay. NOTE: Child support is easier to enforce than when you have custody, alimony. For this reason,

LNS/cpf

try to get as much money as possible in child support.

Changing the Child Support Order

An order to pay child support can be changed. To do this, there must be a change either in your or your husband's ability to pay or in how much your child needs. This is done by filing a Motion to Modify.

The court can stop the child support payments if a parent is not allowed to visit the children. This is not done very often; but you should be aware that it can be done. The parent who does not allow visitation can also be found in contempt of court. If a person is found in contempt of court, he can be fined or sent to jail.
