When going through a divorce with minor children, you and your ex-spouse will address the issues of child support and child visitation. Far too often, divorced couples assume that child support and child visitation are tied to each other.
However, as they often find out, after being taken back to court, they are mutually exclusive and separate Orders. As such, the courts will treat child support and child visitation differently. To better illustrate why we will review a few different scenarios below.
Scenario #1: The custodial parent is refusing visitation because child support is not being paid.
This is a common occurrence that arises when the non-custodial parent is not making child support payments, under-paying, or making payments late. The custodial parent can get upset and decide to punish the non-custodial parent by not allowing access or visitation with their minor children.
