Pretty much exactly what it says.

The most common use of the term refers to a legal request that a court change the visitation or custody terms in a divorce decree.

No. Child Support has nothing to do with relationship. However, I you could file a court motion to determine the cause of not wanting a relationship and determined if the custodial parent/family/friends are promoting parental alienation towards the non-custodial parent.

The custodial parent should file for a modification of that order as soon as possible. Also, she should file a motion for contempt at the same time and get an action going for child support arrears.


What if non costodial parent does not follow visitation?

You have to file a motion for contempt in the court that issued the visitation order to have a judge review the situation and modify the visitation order if appropriate. The court cannot force a parent to visit with their child. However, if the non-custodial parent is trying to pick the child up during non-visitation hours or bringing the child back late, the court will impose further orders and likely modify the visitation order if the problem persists. If the child is prepared for visits and the parent fails to show up that is also extremely stressful for both child and custodial parent. If the parent continues to violate the order they can eventually lose their visitation rights.
