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)

No. Child support, visitation and custody are separate issues that must be addressed by court orders. The father must petition the same court for a visitation order. If the parents cannot agree on a schedule one will be set by the court.

In the United States visitation and child support are different issues and the courts do not hold that fathers must pay to visit their children. If the father is not paying his child support then he is in contempt of the court order. Take him to court on that issue. If you refuse his visitation rights then you would be in contempt of a court order.

Visitation rights are separate and a father can have visitation rights established by the court. Visitation rights are not dependent on paying child support.

Child support and visitation are separate issues and visitation rights are not dependent on paying child support. He has the right to petition the court for visitation and custody as well as the responsibility to pay child support. The courts encourage the involvement of both parents in the child's life. If the parents are not married the father may need to establish his paternity before petitioning for visitations or custody.

Does the father have to have visitation rights in order for the mother to get child support?

Child support and visitation rights are two separate issues and they are addressed separately. The father's paternity must be legally established in court if the parents are unmarried and the mother seeks child support. Once paternity has been established, the court will issue a child support order based on state child support guidelines. In addition, once paternity has been established the father has the right to petition for a visitation schedule. If the father fails to pay his child support he is still entitled to visitations. In that case, the mother would need to pursue the child support arrears by filing a motion for contempt of the child support order.


If the mother deprive the father the right to see his child and he pays child support what are will the courts do for legal relief for him?

If the father has visitation rights and the mother refuses to allow the father those rights, then the father can sue the mother in a civil contempt proceeding. If she doesn't have a good reason for disallowing the visitation then she can be held in contempt of court. There are various remedies including giving the father more visitation to make up for the visitation that was disallowed by the mother or even giving the father custody, but usually, the judge will just order the mother to allow the visits. His paying or not paying child support has nothing to do with whether or not he gets visitation (i.e. he gets visitation regardless of whether or not he is current with child support).


Does The father Have rights if his name Is not on the certificate?

No. By signing the certificate he says he is the father of the child. If he then wants visitation rights or custody he have to petition in court after he has established paternity by a DNA test. He can then also pay child support.
