Visiting right is both a right and an obligation. Paying alimony and exercising visitation rights are two different legal issues, and paying alimony is not a prerequisite for exercising visitation rights.
According to Article 37 of the Marriage Law? After divorce, for the children raised by one party, the other party shall bear part or all of the necessary living expenses and education expenses, and the amount and duration of the expenses shall be agreed upon by both parties; If the agreement fails, the people's court shall make a judgment.
An agreement or judgment on the child's living expenses and education expenses shall not prevent the child from making a reasonable request to either parent for more than the original amount of the agreement or judgment when necessary.
Article 38? After divorce, the spouse who does not directly raise the children has the right to visit the children, and the other spouse has the obligation to help.
The way and time of exercising the visiting right shall be agreed by the parties; If the agreement fails, the people's court shall make a judgment.
If parents visit their children, which is not conducive to their physical and mental health, the people's court shall suspend the right to visit according to law; After the reasons for suspension disappear, the right to visit should be restored.
