If a custodial parent withholds visitation from the non-custodial parent just because child support has not been paid then the custodial parent can be found in contempt of court.
Also, when the non-custodial a parent has an involuntary loss of income, he/she should immediately petition the court of a child support modification to prevent from being found in contempt for not paying child support.
