What if the father of you baby doesnt pay child support?
Well, you have to go to court first, but since we go through this ourselves with my husbands sons mother (she doesn’t pay,) because she isn’t paying, we have the right to not allow her to see, speak or have any contact with them. The judge will say that if the other parent wants to be a parent, then they must help support that child. So, no, you do not have to let him see YOUR child. If he doesn’t like it he can explain to the judge why he should have this right, even when he is unwilling to help support the baby. The judge, 9 out of 10 will make the father prove he has the right to see the child, by showing he can be consitant with helping support said child. They aren’t likely to just grand him visitations. My sister went through this, and the father had to prove by making payment for an X amount of time and then have another hearing.

You husband is granted visitation rights. Visitation and Child Support are two different situations which means one doesn’t automatically affect the other. Below you will find a passage I’ve found from a helpful website. “Can I stop visitation if he doesn’t pay his child support? Laura’s Question: My son is eight years old, and his father has only paid support a total of 6 times in the six years since we split. After I learned that there is an active warrant for his arrest, I stopped visitation. He now claims to be filing contempt of court on me. Am I in the wrong? Brette’s Answer: Visitation and child support are two separate issues. You cannot withhold visitation because he hasn’t paid. Withholding visitation is custodial interference. If there is an arrest warrant out, you can arrange to have him arrested at the court appearance” (Womensdivorce.com). My advise to you is to file a court order against him and start an enforcement proceeding, because he is not paying. Force him to pay
