What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? TN
My 14 year old son has been alienated against me. He wants absolutely nothing to do with me and refuses to visit with me. Before this happened I had moved to the next street from the mother in order to coparent 50/50 with the mother. I have household rules whereas the mother has NO rules, and my son is in a very difficult rebellious teen stage and it's to the point where I don't even want to pay money to fight to see my son who doesnt want to see me, until he's old enough to know better, although my door is always open to raise him as much as I'm allowed.
Now, in addition to shutting me out of his life, the mother is trying to maximize her child support by taking advantage of the fact my son hasn't wanted to see me, by trying to make me agree to a parenting plan of only a few days a year, as if I had moved away and abandoned my son, although nothing is further from the truth.
We've determined the alienation part (rules vs no rules) is nearly impossible to prove in court so isn't there a legal stipulation that I shouldn't be required to pay additional child support for all the parenting time I'm missing out on due to my son not wanting to see me? Or do I have to support a child even moreso who has disowned me?
