Actually, your question should be, "Can I punish and cause emotional damage to my child, as well as foster onto American Society another fatherless child, because the father is unable to pay child support in an economy where there's six men for every job?"
Of the two, being fatherless is far more damaging to the child. Over 90% of crime, especially violent crime, is committed by them. see link below
Visitation and child support are two different issues. Legally you can't keep your child from visiting the father on that charge. Some fathers have gotten modified change of custody orders because the mother wouldn't allow visitation.
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.
Yes. Denial of visitation is a separate matter from child support.
Child support and visitation are separate issues. The non-payment of support would not prohibit a biological parent from being granted visitation rights. Any suspected abuse of a child should be reported to the state family and children's services (child protective services) to be investigated. If the investigation finds that abuse did occur or there is a possibility of it occurring, a judge can deny visitation or order court supervised visitation. Child support can be ordered by the court with or without visitation rights being granted to the non-custodial parent.
The father has a right to pay support and to seek visitation rights. [BTW, the child's last name isn't relevant to this.]SEE LINKS BELOW
His rights are to pay child support and petition for visitation.
Whatever he obtains from the courts. The two are not connected.
Until paternity is established the birth mother is considered to hold sole custody of a minor child. For a father to have custodial or visitation rights it must be agreed on by the mother of the child or through the prescribed court procedures by means of a lawsuit.

child support and visitation rights are two totally different things. The answer is no.
they are completely separate just because you pay child support has nothing to do with visitation, sorry
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.
Child support and visitation are separate issues and giving up visitation does not cancel the responsibility to pay child support. A request to reestablish visitation can be filed even after previously waiving visitation.
How does he have any visitation rights with a custody and child support order?
Child support and custody/visitation are separate issues. You should contact your local courts to file for visitation/custody if the custodial parent is denying visitation.
No the law states visitation should never be refused when child support is not paid. The law states that not allowing the child(ren) to see the parent would be considered punishing the child. (Canada, Ontario Law)
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
