The mother must return to court and file a motion for contempt. Every state has a child support enforcement division that will assist her in collecting arrears but she must help herself by filing a complaint and pursuing the matter through the proper channels.

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.
