My son's biological father has not seen his son for 60 days now. Ever since his paren'ts left back to Texas, he has not called or sent any money (which I don't have custody of my son yet, so I know it's not illegal for him not to be paying me) or tried to visit his son. He lives a block away, and has made no effort.

In December I went to jail on a Domestic Violence count and the court ordered that only Chris (my son's father) can innitiate contact, and otherwise I would be going against my probation for a year. However, after this incident his parent's and him had picked up my son numerous times, and I told them that when they leave back to Texas, that Chris can stop by whenever he would like, no problem, no drama.

His mother is coming up on Monday, and I have spoken with her a few times, she hadn't spoken with her son about not ever seeing HIS son, so she was surprised to hear he hadn't called or anything.

How should I go about the visitations with my son and his grandmother, and father?

Should I allow my son to leave the house with his grandmother?....

Do I have to file to custody to get child support?

Are their any forms that can relinquish all rights that Chris has with my son?

Do you think it would be smarter for my case to wait until my year probation is over?

I have been documenting all these days that Chris does not see his son..

I also have been documenting any gifts or money that his parents send us.

Since Chris does smoke marijuana, and possibly maybe does other drugs I might be unaware of now, can
I get a court ordered drug test if I am filing for custody and he tries to fight it?

Can they do hair samples for drug tests?

Thankyou very much....

Without a court order there is nothing anyone can do. Both parents have rights to child unrestricted. You should talk to an Attorney

You should follow what was ordered by the court during your domestic battery hearing.

Yes, if thats not an issue and you two get along.

Yes, only the primary custodial parent can apply for child support.

You must go to court and prove it's in the childs best interests to be in your custody and not his.

Regardless when you do it you'll find it will effect your custodial hearing either way; it's a great way to prove someone is unfit.

No, he can deny such a request and it wouldn't be enough impact to cause grounds for custodial change.

They do blood tests since hair can be manipulated.
