Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana
My son's father hasnt been in his life at all, and i have never taken him to court for any child support because i have always been finacially able to take care of my son on my own. I, now, am In a finacial hardship and need some child support. My son is now 12 years old, and has never met him, if I take him to court for support can he get visitation? I don't want my son around him, he's an unfit father and I don't want my son getting upset because his father now has 2 other kids and never included him in anything.

Given these facts, the court will not just send him there for weekends, but would probably involve a counselor, have a phase in period with short non-overnight visits, to get him accustomed to his father. It would be your job as a mother to help facilitate this, unless he actively abuses children,
