Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

My sons father has never seen him. He didnt sign the birth certificate. If he pays child support, does that mean he gets to see my son. He does drugs and his mom pays his bills. He told me he was avoiding getting a job so he didnt have to pay child support. I dont want him around my son because of his violent behavior but I need the money for my son.
