No, the two are not connected, and of the two, denial of visitation does far more damage to the child, and presents dangers to society. see related links
Child support and visitation are two separate issues. The father has the right to request a visitation schedule with his child. Visitation is not dependent on paying child support.
Yes and the choice of visitation is not up to her, it's up to the judge. If he is the biological father and have proved paternity in court, he can petition for custody, visitation and pay child support. She has no legal right to keep the other parent away from the child.
Not automatically, but the father certainly has a right to move for visitation and, ordinarily, it should be granted.
no
How does he have any visitation rights with a custody and child support order?
An unmarried father cannot "choose" to not pay child support. The laws in every state require that a father pay for the support of his child. The mother must bring an action to the appropriate court so that a child support order can be established. Visitation rights are separate and a father can have visitation rights established by the court. Visitation rights are not dependent on paying child support.
If the father has visitation rights and the mother refuses to allow the father those rights, then the father can sue the mother in a civil contempt proceeding. If she doesn't have a good reason for disallowing the visitation then she can be held in contempt of court. There are various remedies including giving the father more visitation to make up for the visitation that was disallowed by the mother or even giving the father custody, but usually, the judge will just order the mother to allow the visits. His paying or not paying child support has nothing to do with whether or not he gets visitation (i.e. he gets visitation regardless of whether or not he is current with child support).
yes.
If he has a visitation order, yes.
yes if the court orders you to pay child support the court also tells you whether or not you have visitation rights as well so if your advised to pay child support by law and the tell you that you have no visitation then your obligated to pay child support
Unless you show cause that its in the best interest of the child not to see his father. For example if father has a violent record I doubt they will grant visitation. Also you can ask for monitored visitation.
No. Support and visitation are separate issues.
