IS THERE A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SEEING THE CHILDREN AND PAYING CHILD SUPPORT?

In a word, NO. Even if a parent is not complying with a support order, if there is a custody order allowing him/her to see the child, the parent must be permitted to exercise his or her court-ordered custody of the child. If there is a problem with the support, the parent should proceed through Domestic Relations to file a support complaint, a petition to modify or a contempt petition. If a person who is obligated to pay support is not seeing the child, the person must still pay support. If there is a problem with the custody order, or no custody order has been entered, the parent should file a custody complaint, a petition to modify or a petition for contempt.
