Best Answer

Yes. Child support and visitation are two separate issues and parent are not required to pay to see their children. However, you have the right and responsibility to pursue the child support issue. Every non-custodial parent should pay toward the support of their children. The court has many resources for enforcing child support orders. First, you need to make certain you have obtained a child support order. If the father doesn't pay you need to file a motion for contempt of court and stay on top of it. Ask the court's assistance in collecting.

Visitation is not a reward or a prize he has to pay to see his child, or for the child to have access to his father. It's a parental right and a separate issue from child support and custody. You can not violate the court order for visitation.

To address the child support issue you must file a motion for contempt against the father for his failure to pay child support. The court and the state child support enforcement agency will help you to collect arrears.

If the father of a child gets married and owes back child support can the spouse be obligated to pay his back child support in CA?

An unmarried father cannot "choose" to not pay child support. The laws in every state require that a father pay for the support of his child. The mother must bring an action to the appropriate court so that a child support order can be established. Visitation rights are separate and a father can have visitation rights established by the court. Visitation rights are not dependent on paying child support.
