Can A Custody And Child Support Agreement Be Revised To No Support, No Visits

[reen]

My custody/child support agreement is under Michigan law. If both parties agree, can a custody and child support agreement be revised so the father pays no support in return for no visitation?
Will a court grant this if both parties agree?

Does the party with the custody have plenty of income guaranteed to support the child in the same manner the child has been accustomed to without the other parent's income?

Yes - The child support agreement was only for $50/wk. The non-custodial parent rarely paid the support on time and is not employed, nor does he plan on being employed on a regular basis. The custodial parent has always been the main income support and earns quite a bit more now than when the divorce and custody/child support agreement was put in place.

Hmm - what was I smoking when I asked that??? Generally the judges do not allow one person to give up their parental rights unless another person is willing to step in a adopt the child as their own. They are worried that one day the child will need $$ and they don't want the state to have to foot a bill that another parent could have paid...

That said - I have read some posts on here that talk about forgiving arrears if parental rights are terminated... sorry I can't be more specific.

Forgot to mention that the NCP can and should pay the amount ordered on time regardless. You should file a motion with the court to enforce the order. If you are making more money than it would be fair to have the amounts recalculated based on current incomes. If the NCP is not working then they should have their income imputed. Both should contribute to the child's welfare.

It has nothing to do with the money for me. The NCP see's the child 4 times a year and tells her she is a mistake when she does see him. The last visit the NCP complained to the child that he hates to pay child support, so I am looking for a loophole in the law. If the court will allow me to revise our agreement, I will give up any support in return for no visitation. If a court won't rubber stamp it, I won't pursue it. The $2600 year for support isn't worth the emotional mess the visits are causing.
