Can a parent deny visitation if the other parent is not paying child support?
Schedule a Free Consultation
New York law treats visitation and child support as two separate matters. A parent cannot deny court-ordered visitation because the other parent is behind on payments. If child support is not being paid, legal remedies are available through the court or child support enforcement, but interfering with visitation can lead to legal consequences for the custodial parent.
