I have a court order stating that I have custody of my 17 month old son and his father gets supervised visitation. I was told in court by the judge that I would have to pay for the visits, but that she was allowing me to move away because of Domestic Violence. I now live in MA, the father still lives in NY. The visitation costs are almost half my income and I can no longer afford to pay for visits. I noticed that although I was told in person by the judge that I would have to pay for visits, the custody/visitation order states no such thing, only that the visits are to be supervised and by what place. I live paycheck to paycheck and I can't afford to go back to NY to modify the arrangement, nor do I have time- I just was accepted and will have to move on or around the 1st of August. Am I obligated to contine paying, even though the order says nothing about it, as long as I continue to make my son available for visits with his father, therefore not denying his time, just tell him I can't afford to pay it anymore? I was living with family, but will soon be on Section 8, but Section 8 will not count this as an expense, as it is not in the actual court papers, and if I cannot afford to live on Section 8, I will have to move into a homeless shelter with my children. What can I do? Can I get in serious trouble if I no longer pay for visitation, as long as I continue to make my son available?
