Payment of support or maintenance, or both, is to be as ordered herein, and the <br /> giving of gifts or making purchases of food, clothing, and the like will not fulfill the <br /> obligation. <br /> B. Payment of support must be made as it becomes due, and failure to secure, or denial <br /> of rights of, visitation is not an excuse for nonpayment, but the aggrieved party must <br /> seek relief through a proper motion filed with the court. <br /> C.
