Yes， there are cases where a person may have a legal obligation to provide financial support for a child even if they do not have custody or visitation rights. This is known as a "child support obligation."
Under the law， both parents have a duty to financially support their children. This obligation is based on the principle that children have the right to be supported by their parents and to enjoy a certain standard of living.
Even if a parent does not have custody or visitation rights， they may still be required to pay child support. This is typically determined by a court order， which sets the amount and frequency of the payments.
Factors that may be considered when deciding child support payments include the income and expenses of both parents， the child's needs and standard of living， and any special circumstances such as medical expenses or educational expenses.
If a parent fails to pay child support， they may face legal and financial consequences such as wage garnishment， loss of driver's license， or even imprisonment.
In conclusion， having a legal obligation to provide financial support for a child is separate from custody or visitation rights. Even if a parent does not have custody， they may still be required to pay child support based on their income and the child's needs.
