My daughters father dosent see her and dosent pay his ordered child support,what kind of custody do i have? in il

You have whatever your last court papers say you have, unless you have never been to court over this and you are the parent and she lives with you. You both have legal rights to her.

I'm not sure he'd have ANY custody if he's NOT paying support. i'd call the court who ordered it & tell them what u shared here. it's not right 4 him 2 stick u w/ ALL expenses

Well the child support services will enforce the non-custodial parent to pay their child support obligations, they have many ways to enforce it, and if you recieved the fathers income tax refund then that is a start. They can suspend his drivers licence, garnish his wages, put a lien on his home if h has one ect. You need to be sure that you contact the child support services and update them when ever you no of any changes like his change of job, address change ect. Child support and custody and visitation are all different issue's and one cannot be held gainst the other. You are the mother and you do hve custody of your children, you have a child support order inforce. But if you want legal custody though the courts, then you can file for sole custody, the reason for a parent to file though the court to get legal custody is to protect that parent from the non-cutodial parent from taking the child and then filing for custody, it is for your protection by law. Also I am not sure if you and the father were married, or if the father is on the childs birth certificate , but I can tell you this if you were married and divorced then one of you would of been order custody or the both of you joint custdy so I will asume you were never married. So now I can tell you if the father is on the childs birth certificate or ha taken a parenty test to establish partenty then he has the legal right to file for either joint custody and or visitation. Until one of you file though the court neither of you have legal custody. If the father is not on the childs birth certificate and has not taken a DNA test then he will need to take the DNA test before he can file a petition for joint and or visitation. You can also consult with legal aide they go by your income, if you cannot afford a lawyer.
