Not it America. She dosnt have the right but she certainly can do it. As the judge said it he would have to petition a motion. To open the 👀 of the court. Then they will monitor her. Then they could repimend her for withholding. You might ask yourself so why the judge quickly demanded and ruled against him not paying childsupport. Courts keep 3% of every childsupport docket number "court fees". Is how judges,clerks,court officers get their salary from. Not from tax payers. They make no money from keeping parents viewing their children. Money comes from fathers paying that childsupport.🤷🏾‍♂️

Thats what the judge was saying he has all this education and is doing nothing with his life and nothing for his son.

Want to dictate if you get to see your kid and have a girlfriend at the same time and, when these dudes finally have no more fight (because the courts don’t give AF about fathers) they train the kid to believe that their father is a deadbeat who simply didn’t care.

Family Court keeps 3% of every childsupport docket number. Is how majority of staff salary are paid.

Is why you see judgements like Micheal Jordan not getting full custody of his children upon divorce as a better fit parent. To the human eye its common sense, more successful, more driven more financially stable. But for them is better to rule in contrary, since they benefit 3% of his 208 million paid in childsupport.

They will dismiss all female behaviors issued in bad faith. Skip and jump straight to the income. Its all a business. Also the clerks know when you are getting fucked. The court officers know and ofcourse the judges know. If you are the dad, your are the enemy by default. This system is designed to fund itself. Ever wonder why courts throw out a negative dna test, anything after a kid being older than 2 years old. The government dosnt fund them. Family and child support operate under their own standards. They need ppl to fund the incentives of what family Court is. Judge Mathis acted as a judge trained to order against the father by default. Even dismissing the fact she had another child outside the marriage. Is a strategic blind eye to get that man to pay that 2800.
