Yes, there is:
1. Talk to him about visitation and try to work out a schedule that does work for both of you.
2. If he won't talk to you, talk to a counselor of teens about how you can reach out to your son.
3. Find an intermediary, like a pastor or a counselor, to help try to reach him. Involve the other parent in this if willing.
Once you have tried all those things, sit down with an attorney and discuss the wisdom of action in court
You might also talk to the mother and show her the paretnign time guidelines commentary on encouraging parenting time. I might add that the payment of child support has nothing to do with whether you receive parenting time.
