    Yes This is true. My daughter does not want to go either but by law if he pays support she must unless it is a bad enviroment and you have to prove it. The best advise is to ask your divorce lawyer.

    • Child support and visitation rights are seperate issues. You cannot withhold visitation for lack of payment, nor can you force visitation because you pay. The court will seriously frown on anyone who tries to use one as an excuse for another.

      Visitation is not guaranteed with just because child support is paid. I know someone who pays for a child that he didn't even know existed until 7 years of age. The child is now 18, with support paid the entire time, and his father has never seen anything of him but a photocopy of a Poloroid picture.
