you have no idea how many times these rules are reversed, father's paying and not getting to see the children. your concern should be for the best interest of the children. they deserve to have a relationship with their father. If the father is blatantly not seeing the children over a period of time, file a motion to modify the visitation schedule and a motion for contempt, for nonpayment of support. you see, this is not a moral question but a legal one.

Can the father still have visitation if he is not paying child support but has a court order to pay?
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.
Can the custodial parent change a visitation order with out a judges consent?
No, and many jurisdictions take denial of visitation very seriously (as they should!).
How can you deny joint custody to an abusive parent?
YOU cannot deny any custody or visitation. Only the court can make an enforceable decision regarding these matters. State laws vary. If physical abuse is the case, the custodial parent will need a record of the abuse and should call the police, take pictures to record the effects, and try to have dis-interested witnesses present at the time of any contact between the parents. If there is no abuse to the children, or no abuse in the presence of the children, it is unlikely to make any change in the court decision for joint custody. It may compel the court to make some order for supervised exchange of the children for visitation. Only the court can make any decision, especially regarding custody. If the non-custodial parent is abusive to the children it may be very good grounds for a sole custody arrangement. It may also encourage the court to provide for supervised visitation. Visitation is a different issue than custody. Visitation is the means for the non-custodial parent to have a relationship with the children and build that relationship. A court generally regards this as semi-sacred. A custodial parent should NOT deny visitation. If it is necessary to curtail visitation for the real safety of the children, the custodial parent should immediately file a request for a change of visitation. Otherwise, a court may frown on a parent who denies visitation. In some states, continual denial of visitation can be grounds for a change of custody.
What happens if you deny the noncustodial parent visitation while under court ordered visitation?

What if the custodial parent does not allow the child to see the non-custodial parent even though the court said she can - does the non-custodial parents still have to pay support?
Child support and visitation rights are two entirely different issues. The terms of visitation should have been determined before divorce proceedings and finalized when the divorce decree was awarded. The court generally prefers the parents reach an amicable agreement for reasonable visitation by the non-custodial parent. If specified days/times have been ordered by the court the custodial parent must allow visitation or risk being in contempt of a court order.

If the custodial parent fails to obey the current order they will be in contempt of a court order.
