So you want to punish your child because the father may be hurting from the drop in the economy specifically affecting men? No, as it is child abuse and damages society. see link below
Child support and visitation are two separate issues. The father has the right to request a visitation schedule with his child. Visitation is not dependent on paying child support.
Child support is not mandatory and can be included as a provision of Alimony, which is financially beneficial to the one paying. see link below

Visitation should not be dependent on child support. How would the child feel losing the parent? Keep that issue in front of the judge.
Paying child support does not automatically give someone the right to visitation. Assuming the other parent has custody and is not willing to voluntarily allow visitation, you'd have to petition for court-order visitation.
Support and visitation are two different things. If you have an order for visitation, you have a right to see your son.
Actually, limited time alimony is better to pay than child support. Child support separate from alimony only became common some 40 years ago. Alimony is tax deductible, while child support is not. When calculating child support, alimony is a deductible item from gross earned income on which the calculations are based, thus less child support is ordered. In addition, the alimony adds to the total taxable the other parent, resulting in them taking on a greater obligation in the support of the children. Balancing the benefits of one over the other is something to discuss with a tax accountant. Reducing taxable income, as a result of paying alimony, could bring the obligor into a lower tax bracket. Combining this with the lower child support obligation could actually create an overall savings as compared to just paying child support.
You have to keep paying child support. The visitation issue is separate and you should consider straightening out your legal status so that you can seek relief. If you were not married to the child's mother, your options are also limited.

Yes. Child support and visitation are two separate issues. You need to return to court and request a visitation order or file a motion for contempt if the mother is in violation of a visitation order. If you stop paying your child support that will compound your problems.
In general, visitation and child support are separate matters. However, if you aren't paying support, you might reasonably expect some resistance from the custodial parent about visitation! But of the two, denying a child a father is far more damaging and costly to the child and society in general. see link below
Absolutely not. Visitation rights are decided by the court. Unless the court changes the visitation order, non-payment of child support is not grounds to withhold legal visitation rights.
