If there is a standing visitation order, yes.
Court orders must be followed until they can be modified by returning to court and placing the issue before the judge. A custodial parent who doesn't honor the standing visitation order is in contempt of a court order and the court can order a modification of the custody order if the contempt continues. A child cannot refuse to visit the other parent until they reach eighteen years of age in virtually every state in the United States.
When a child refuses to visit the other parent the primary custodial parent must first take steps to determine the cause of the refusal. A professional may be of help at this time. The child may have legitimate reasons and once identified both parents must work together to address the problem. The non-custodial parent may need some advice on how to spend quality time with the child so the child feels both welcome and comfortable in the non-custodial parent's new environment.
This is a common mistake made by non-custodial parents. The child misses them and looks forward to spending time with them but that time comes and there is a stranger present. The child's comfort level plunges. Being forced to spend visitations with people other than the parent is not a good idea until the child has had a chance to adjust to the new family dynamics between the child and the parents. The dynamics of coping with the father's new partner should come much later.
Uncomfortable sleeping arrangements can make a child reluctant to go for visits. If there are other children in the picture (belonging to the non-custodial parent's new partner) they should be allowed to develop a relationship gradually. A common problem arises for the child whose non-custodial parent makes no special notice of the child during visits and expects the child to spend their time with those other children as part of a new "family unit". In those situations the child has lost a special parent-child connection with the non-custodial parent. The option of spending some private quality time with their parent should always be an option.
If the child's concerns are serious and the non-custodial parent will not cooperate, the custodial parent may need to return to court for a modification of the visitation order. On the other hand, when the situation is evaluated by the court it may find that parent alienation is at the root of the difficulties and if serious, the custodial parent may well lose physical custody to the other parent. Alienating a child against the other parent causes irreparable and long lasting harm.
It's a court order. You could go to jail for contempt if you don't comply.

Yes. While the reason the child does not want the visits should be addressed if possible, the custodial parent would be in violation of the visitation order if they stop those visits.
If there is a court order for visitation, yes.
A motion to modify parental rights and financial responsibility, though a divorce would be better. see links
England and Walesno he shouldn't if he doesnt get to see his kid why should he??

If the child is old enough you do not have to see your dad of the parents are not together. If you are not of age then yes you will have to see your dad.
She has the right to decide if he's to be a father or not, or to have access if he does. see my profile
Not unless the child is adopted by another man. The dad is the dad until someone else takes that obligation. Many men are forced to be fathers when they are not ready and lack the right to abort their responsibility like women can. But, with maturity, this can change, to the benefit of the child. This is not the same for the mother who aborted her responsibility. There's no going back later to make it right.
Yes; however, your dad has a right to see you if he has an order for visitation.
Depends if you are married or single. see links
OK SO YOU GOT SOME ONE PREGNANT AND NOW YOU WANT TO LEAVE HER AND NOT EVEN SEE THE CHILD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DUDE YOUR MEAN
This question makes no sense. Who is "her"? Are you asking if you have to let your ex see your dad? Assuming they are both adults, you cannot prevent it. If you are asking about whether you have to allow your child to see your ex that is his/her dad, yes. You can get into a lot of legal trouble (and even lose custody of the child) if you refuse to allow a child to see his/her legal father.
