It is unlikely to succeed. Even if he doesn't pay, he still has rights to see the child.

Access rights are not linked to maintenance (child support). Denial of access cannot be used as a weapon to enforce maintenance payment. To do so is extortion and itself a criminal action.

Enforcing support payments is correctly done through a court order. What the court order says depends on his financial circumstances.
