Custody and visitation have no relevance to child support other than calculating the amount. The failure of the non-custodial parent to pay child support is not a ground for denying visitation. If child support was calculated based on certain visitation, and he is actually not visiting or following the visitation plan, you may need to file an OSC to modify child support upwards.
