Just so I ensure I am answering what you are asking. My understanding is you have an order for child support and there is also a visitation order in place granting the child's father visitation rights. I believe you are asking that if you state you are no longer seeking child support does not affect the father's visitation rights. No, if you state you no longer seeking child support that will not affect whether or not the father has rights to visitation. One does not affect the other.
The same is true if the father does not pay child support when he is order to. For example, if the father is ordered to pay child support but does not pay, that does not allow the mother to withhold visitation from the father. The proper course of action would be to file a contempt motion with the court for the father's failure to follow the court's order.
