Can Child Visitation Be Withheld If My Ex Isn’t Paying Child Support?

One of the biggest misconceptions divorced couples have is that they can withhold access to the minor children if the non-custodial parent is not paying child support. In Ontario, as well as throughout Canada, child access and child support are separate legal matters.

People mistakenly assume just because one parent is breaking their agreement, the other can do the same. Yet, both parents can get into serious trouble with the Courts and FRO (Family Responsibility Office) when they fail to meet their child support obligations and refuse access to their minor children.
