Child support and visitation rights are two separate issues and they are addressed separately. The father's paternity must be legally established in court if the parents are unmarried and the mother seeks child support. Once paternity has been established, the court will issue a child support order based on state child support guidelines. In addition, once paternity has been established the father has the right to petition for a visitation schedule. If the father fails to pay his child support he is still entitled to visitations. In that case, the mother would need to pursue the child support arrears by filing a motion for contempt of the child support order.
An obligor who fails to pay child support pursuant to an order can be put in jail.

Moving in with a new partner has no effect on court ordered child support. If he fails to pay then report the matter to the court and child support enforcement.
Impaired parenting is a form of child abuse. Someone practicing impaired parenting neglects their child's needs and fails to support the child emotionally and socially.
Youll have to bring the crazy old dude to court and get him to pay.
That option IS available to the court as a lever to apply pressure to the deadbeat parent. REASONING: If the deadbeat parent fails to pay support, the state would have to spend TAXPAYER supported money in order to support the dependent child.
Paternity must be established before an order for support is entered. This is done by: genetic testing; presumption, where the parties were married when the child was born/conceived; acknowledgment of paternity either in writing or in open court; default, where the alleged father fails to cooperate in the process.

If you have custody of the child(ren), and if the father lives in the US, then yes, you can get child support even if he's not a US citizen. If he was ordered by the courts to pay child support and refuses to pay, you can sue him for non payment. They may even order (or you can request) the child support payments to go through the Child Support Enforcement Agency, who will then forward the payments to you. If he fails to pay, then they will take legal action on your behalf. But if he lives in another country, then it may be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to force him to pay the child support unless he lives in a country which signed the Hague Treaty, which provides enforcement for foreigners to pay child support.

No. Custodial or visitations issues and child support are completely different matters. Parental rights can only be relinquished voluntarily by the parent or permanently terminated by the court.
