A: Many parents pay child support without having contact with their children. Visitation isn't directly tied to child support.

You should strongly consider filing for child support. The support will be based on many things, including his income and whether he has other children. Once he is on child support, if he fails to pay in accordance with the support order, he can be held in contempt.
