Always stay current on child support and unreimbursed medical expenses.  Pay something even if you can't pay the entire bill.  If you have an existing court order for visitation, you can file a Motion to Enforce Visitation which must be heard in 21 days.  Let us know if you need help with your rights in a Divorce, Paternity, or Child Custody case.
