Best Answer

it all depends on state that you live in, however, a father has a right to see his children despite his history of child support payments. the mother cannot legally refuse to allow the father to the child or children due to lack of support, unless there is a court order or restraining order that legally allows her to withold visitation. Paying child support and visitation rights have nothing to do with each other.Just because you dont/do pay child support doesnt mean you can/cannot visit your child

Yes. Custody and Child Support are considered two different things. However, you must provide proof of why it is more beneficial for the non-custodial parent to be denied rights to the child. If there is no history of your claims, it is likely to be dismissed. Most states are in favor of the child spending time with both parents as it is much more beneficial to the child.

Though a Judge does not favor you, they are separate issues, though he might issue an arrest warrant for you on the spot. Why are you behind?

No. The custodial parent never has the right to refuse visitation without a court order or if the child is in danger. Child support and visitation are two separate orders, two separate issues and are treated separately.

Child support arrears must be reported to the court through a motion for contempt of a court order.

Yes, if the court determines the custodial parent is unfit and the child would be better off with the father. However, he will still owe the arrears to the other parent.
