What are the laws in Texas regarding a parent that does not want to pay child support but doesn't want visitation either?

In every state a parent is required to pay to support their child, and they cannot Dodge that by saying they don't want to see the kid. I would file for custody and get it in writing that the other parent is not requesting visitation, then file for support.

Do you have to pay child support if you file for visitation rights?
Yes. Children are not for sale or barter. You have a right to visitation even if you don't pay child support - one has nothing to do with the other. Of course if you go to court and petition for visitation, you will get it, but they will also notice that you are deliquent and, as a separate matter, expect you to pay it. You can face jail time if you are too far behind.
Does the father still pay child support if the child stops visiting?
Unless the court order ordering him to pay child support specifically says otherwise, then yes. He could go to court to seek either to have visitation enforced or child support eliminated or reduced.
What to do when the other parent only show's up for visitation sometimes?
You cannot force a parent to visit their child, however if they are not abiding by the court order outlining visitation, you can either file an action against them in the court of jurisdiction for contempt of court, or apply for a modification of the original custody/visitation order, stripping them of their rights to visitation or lessening them. If such an order is approved and the custodial arrangement is changed, child support may also be modified based on the same.
Should a parent pay support if the child will not come visit and doesn't want anything to do with them?
Support and visitation are two separate issues. Support is a responsibility just like anything else you "buy" If you sign a lease agreement on a car and then wreck it and can't drive it any more and didn't have insurance, you still owe for the car don't you? You can go to court and ask that your existing visitation order be enforced, in which case the judge will either determine that the child has a legitimate cause to cancel visitation or will order the other parent to present the child according to the schedule unless they want to be held in contempt. Either way you still have to pay your child support until you ask a judge to stop making you and they agree.

What happens if the father of the child is court ordered to pay child support and refuses?
A court order for child support is not a court order for visitation. These are 2 different issues and needs to be petitioned for separately. If there is a court order for visitation she can not say no without breaking it and can then be reported to the court and even lose custody if repeated. Child support is not a must for visitation. The court cares about the child having the right to both parents so if one can not pay at the moment does not mean they are not allowed to see each other. There is after all many mothers on welfare so technically they can not pay for their child either but they have custody. If there is no court order I suggest you go to court to get one.
I'm going to get child support from my babies father if i do that will he be able to have visitation even if i don't want him to?
He can do it either way. I teach fathers how as society does not need another fatherless child growing up to contribute to 85% of crime.
Can an unwed mother deny visitation to the father in Missouri?
In Missouri an unwed mother has all the rights to the child until paternity is established. However, she also has all the responsibility. That means that she cannot ask for child support either, until paternity is established. She can deny visitation, but she can't get support. Once the father establishes paternity he can asks for the same rights and responsibilities as a married parent. If mom won't help dad establish paternity, he can go to the child support agency and ask them to help him establish paternity.
What if a father has not seen their child in ten months and one day decides to want to see them can he just come and take them?
That depends on the custody order and the visitation order. However, he should call ahead and let the family know if he decides to exercise his visitation rights after not seeing the child for some time. If he has no visitation rights then it's up to the mother. Either way he should call ahead in case the family has plans.That depends on the custody order and the visitation order.

How do you fight for visitation if you live in another state. My wife filed for divorce while I was out of state to find work and doesn't want me to have visitation?
You go to court in the jurisdiction where the child legally resides and file for an order of visitation. Just because your wife filed for divorce, custody/visitation/child support are separate issues and may be modified at the request of either parent at any time. Consult an attorney with specialization in family law in the state of jurisdiction for assistance (ideally), or go the the court of jurisdiction for the proper forms, fill them out, pay the filing fee and wait for your court hearing.
What rights does a thirteen year old have regarding wanting nothing to do with her father?
In most states the minor under age 14 cannot chose to see or not see said parent. Especially if parents are divorced and have either joint custody or some type of visitation worked out in the court order. However if daughter is under full custody of mother and does not wish to see the father and no visitation rights have been rewarded to the father the daughter does not have to see him. Most time the courts will decide visitation rights and so forth.
