Custody and visitation issues are resolved by the courts "in the best interests of the child."   What you can and can not achieve here will depend on the particualr facts of your situation. You can absolutely enforce the issue of child support with out having to deal with his directly as most states have the ability to deduct the money from pay checks etc., and deposited in your account with out having to deal with him.  Good luck.
