Re: Does't pay,What are his rights?

What does your Final Judgment for Dissolution of Marriage say with respect to visitation? If it includes visitation out of state then you must comply. However, I really suggest you consult with an attorney on this for further details. When you re-marry your new husband can adopt however your ex has to consent to the adoption. Depending on the circumstances his consent may not be needed. Again this is case specific so you may want to consult with an Attorney.
