The father brought a motion to change a default order dated May 2, 2011, which granted the mother custody of the child and ordered the father to pay $182 monthly in child support based on an imputed minimum wage income.
The father sought specified access, rescission of arrears, and termination of ongoing support.
The mother opposed the motion and sought to maintain Saturday-only access with limited telephone contact.
The court found the father's evidence regarding his financial circumstances to be replete with inconsistencies and internal contradictions, and determined he was either gainfully employed or capable of earning at least minimum wage.
The court dismissed the father's motions for financial relief but allowed, in part, his motion for a change in access by expanding it to include Wednesday evening visits with specific conditions.
