the noncustodial parent is usually awarded some type of visitation rights in order to enable a relationship with the father. If the father is unfit however, them this needs to be brought to the attention of the court that the father is engaging in a lifestyle and practices that are harmful to the child. If that is found to be the case and true, then there is the possibility for either supervised visits or total denial of visitation rights until the issue is resolved.

What if the father is not paying child support and is a convicted felon with a criminal history does he still have visitation rights?
Visitation rights and child support are 2 separate issues in court. They see to what is best for the child and it often is to see both parents. It also depends on why he is not paying child support. If there is such order and he is not paying there are ways the court can see to that he does but you need to let them know he is not paying. You can not deny him visitation on your own, that would be breaking the court order and will get you into legal trouble. It's up to the court to decide if he is unfit for visitation based on his criminal past. Just because you've been to jail in the past does not mean you are a unfit parent now.

You should return to the court that issued the custody order and request a visitation schedule.
