As long as he has been established as the father and has not been deemed an unfit parent, the court will grant visitation rights.
Why would it matter, unless you are looking for a way the make sure your child grows up fatherless?
If the father has visitation rights and the mother refuses to allow the father those rights, then the father can sue the mother in a civil contempt proceeding. If she doesn't have a good reason for disallowing the visitation then she can be held in contempt of court. There are various remedies including giving the father more visitation to make up for the visitation that was disallowed by the mother or even giving the father custody, but usually, the judge will just order the mother to allow the visits. His paying or not paying child support has nothing to do with whether or not he gets visitation (i.e. he gets visitation regardless of whether or not he is current with child support).
You cannot force her to go and don't make her but what you should do is find out why she does not want to see her as sometimes (heaven forbid) they are being abused in some way or another and of course it could just be rebellion if he is just strict.
Visit the court that issued the visitation order and request help from that court.
Visitation and child support are two different issues. Legally you can't keep your child from visiting the father on that charge. Some fathers have gotten modified change of custody orders because the mother wouldn't allow visitation.
That would need to be approved by a court and would not relieve him of his obligation to pay child support. Courts make such decisions and even if you have sole legal and physical custody and the father relinquishes visitation rights, he must obey any child support order.That would need to be approved by a court and would not relieve him of his obligation to pay child support.

Biologically, yes, you are. There are probably not any residual rights to visitation after such a long absence, but you could possibly make amends.
Visitation rights may also extend beyond parents. Every state has recognized grandparents' visitation rights in some form by amending visitation statutes. Several states limit visitation to cases where the parent is deceased, while others extend the right to cases of divorce, Annulment, or separation. Such laws have come under attack by parents, who argue that giving grandparents visitation rights infringes on their right to raise their children as they see fit. The U.S. Supreme Court, in Troxel v. Granville, 530 U.S. 57, 120 S.Ct. 2054, 147 L.Ed.2d 49 (2000), held that the state of Washington's grandparent visitation statute violated the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, as it interfered with the rights of parents to make decisions concerning the care, custody, and control of their children. The statute permitted "any person" at "any time" to petition a state family court for visitation rights whenever "visitation may serve the best interest of the child." Most states hold that the ongoing fami
It is his choice as to whether or not he exercises his visitation. He does not have to but the mother does have to make the child available should he decide to exercise his visitation.
It's not so "only", he still has rights as a parent. If you make it impossible for the court order to work you are in violation of said order. Will you fly the child over every other weekend? This is something he will have to give his consent to and also the court. Any changes in the visitation order have to go through the court that issued the order.
You can't make anyone give up their parental rights. And in some states, they wont allow it at all, unless the child has another adult willing to adopt the child. The father can however, relinquish his parental rights while still paying child support, this might be a good option in your circumstance.
