No, not without getting you in trouble for contempt of court if such visitation is court ordered. Penalties you may face include monetary, jail time, or even losing your joint custody status in favor of the other parent.
If the child has a valid and compelling reason why he doesn't want to visit his father, he needs to request a meeting with the judge or you can enlist the services of an attorney or guardian ad litem to make his wishes known to the judge. Some family courts also offer mediation services for this issue, so check it out. The court will take them into consideration and may make a modification to the visitation order based on the same, but no guarantees.
In the meantime, it would be in your best interests to do everything you can to make sure your child complies with visitation as outlined to prevent unpleasant consequences down the road.
The father's paternity must be established legally, usually through a DNA test. Once established as the father he can request joint custody and a visitation schedule. A child support order will also be established. He should visit the family court for more information.
If you have joint legal custody then you will need the father to sign paperwork to get a passport for your daughter to leave the country. If she already has a passport and your trip out of the country does not interfere with his visitation then you have every right to take you daughter anywhere you want to take her:-)
If the father have no court order for visitation she can refuse.
Yes, but the answer depends on the details. Perhaps the father didn't know of the child. If the mother has been found unfit the father is next in line as long as he is suitable. If the father has matured and wants to be part of the child's life after not being around at first, the court may award joint custody or at least a visitation schedule and child support order. You should visit the court and ask to speak with an advocate, or consult with an attorney who specializes in custody issues.
If you're referring to visiting someone who is in custody in jail, then yes. You will be subject to search. You could always refuse, but if you do, you won't be allowed in to visit them.

well in how in the first place, if this is this the father, how did u find out in the first place? and then i would go down to the local court house and file either solecustody or joint custody. then take it to court and then see if they find you a fit father or not. and then find out some stuff on the mother to get it to where you can find out that she is not being a fit mother. then you just got sole custody of that child. now if they find you not a fit father they maybe nice and at least grant you supervised visit with the child.
No, not if the mother has custody. Also, the fact that the mother is gay is irrelevant information.
Yes. She should visit the local family court and file a petition for sole legal custody.

Generally, unless the case is impounded for some reason, you can visit the family court that has jurisdiction over their case and ask to see the file. You can review the custody order.
With or without the child? What is the state with jurisdiction over the case? If your custody order doesn't specifically outline those terms, you would need to supply that information for an informed answer.
