As a general rule, there is no connection between paying child support and visitation rights. Visitation rights are granted where it is in the best interest of the child for there to be visitation.
Paying child support does not automatically entitle the person paying support to have visitation rights with the child. Failure to pay child support will not automatically stop visitation rights.
The duty to pay child support is based on the Child Support Guidelines and has little connection with visitation.
