    Question Do You Have to Let Your Spouse See the Children After Separation

    My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Florida

    My husband and I have been separated since July 28, 2011. I've been letting him see my son about once every one-two weeks, basically whenever he asks to see him, in spite of the fact that he constantly calls me names and cusses at me via text message, phone, and in person. He's not provided any type of support and causes emotionally turmoil for myself and my son at every possible turn. Every time I tell someone that he refuses to help financially, their first question is, "Then why do you let him see him?"

    Am I obligated by law to allow him visitation while we are separated?

    Thanks!

    Assuming this is also his son born during the marriage, he has as much right to see his son as you do. Until a court orders him to provide financial support, he is not legally obligated to do so.

    You need to file in court for a custody, visitation and child support order.

    Your son is not a bargining chip; child support is not a ticket to see him.

    It is in your son's best interest to have a relationship and regular contact with both of his parents.

    It also doesn't matter at all what Dad calls you.
