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.
