Legally, no - but keep in mind that, in general, children are better off when they have regular contact with both parents.

Can a mother deny visitation if the father is paying child support?
Whether or not a parent is paying child support is irrelevant when the issue is visitation rights. If there is a court order for visitation the primary custodial parent must allow it or be found in contempt of court. If there is not a court order in place the custodial parent can make the decision to when, where or if visitation is allowed. Visitation guidelines are usually established during the custodial proceedings.
Does a parent paying child support have automatic rights to the child?
In general, no. Child Support and Custody/Visitation are separate issues and addressed in separate court orders. A parent who is under a child support order must petition the court for a visitation schedule. For more accurate information please specify your jurisdiction.
Can a parent be taken to court for no visitation rights?
It's not the parent who decide whether there will be visitation rights or not, that is the court and a parent is not obligated to petition for one. A parent can not be forced to have a relationship with their child. Apart from paying child support.
What happens when you are paying child support but being denied visitation and your child resides in a different state?
The non-custodial parent should file for visitation rights for the child in the county where custody was given. If the parent who has custody of the child is preventing the non-custodial parent the right of visitation they can be found in contempt of court if visitation has already been established. If the custodial parent has too many repeated contempts filed against them, custody can be switched to the other parent.
Do i have to tell the non-custodial parent that i am moving out of state with our child if he isn't paying child support?
In Most states child support is separate from custody. Even if the non custodial parent is not paying child support he / she can request to visitation. because the parent is in arears does not hinder him / her the right to visit the child. both visitation and support are doen separately. Uunless there was a divorce that stipulates the arangement.
If i pay child support by law can you see your child?
Paying child support does not automatically give someone the right to visitation. Assuming the other parent has custody and is not willing to voluntarily allow visitation, you'd have to petition for court-order visitation.
Do a father get visitation after they stop paying child support at age 20 for a handicap child?
Visitation should not be dependent on child support. How would the child feel losing the parent? Keep that issue in front of the judge.
If parent is no paying support do the children have to go with him?
First thing..in Indiana...most courts view support and visitation as two separate issues. If the support is required through the courts the judge will ask what the visitation is at that time. However, if the non-custodial parent wants to get visitation without the custodial parents agreement, the non-custodial parent will have to file a request with the court and have a judge issue visitation. If there is no visitation order in place by a judge/court, the custodial parent has no legal requirement to permit visitation. I have dealt with this issue personally as well as my sibling, me being a custodial parent my sibling being a non-custodial parent. So I have seen what happens from both sides. Basically if it something isn't ordered by a judge/court, there is no legal requirement to do visitation or support.

Is it illegal to not allow the children to see the other parent if they do not pay child support?
If there is a court order for visitation or custody it is illegal to not follow the court order. Child support, custody and visitation are 3 separate issues in court. Paying child support or not is not a reason to take away the child's right to see his/hers parent.
