No. At the minimum, this is ground for a motion to enforce access rights, and change of custody. see link

If the mother deprive the father the right to see his child and he pays child support what are will the courts do for legal relief for him?
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).

Mother will not let father have his child for his weekend. What should the father do?
The father must file a motion for contempt in the court that has jurisdiction over the case. If there is no court ordered visitation then the father must request a visitation order. This situation must be addressed and resolved through the court system

Does the father have to have visitation rights in order for the mother to get child support?
Child support and visitation rights are two separate issues and they are addressed separately. The father's paternity must be legally established in court if the parents are unmarried and the mother seeks child support. Once paternity has been established, the court will issue a child support order based on state child support guidelines. In addition, once paternity has been established the father has the right to petition for a visitation schedule. If the father fails to pay his child support he is still entitled to visitations. In that case, the mother would need to pursue the child support arrears by filing a motion for contempt of the child support order.
Do you have the right as an unwed mother to deny the biological father visitation rights?
You do not have the right to deny visitations but if you do, the father can and should request a court hearing to establish his paternity and get visitation rights. He can request custody or joint custody and the court will render a decision. If the child is to remain with the mother the court will set up a child support order and the father can file contempt charges if the mother withholds visitation or violates the visitation order in any other way.

Visitation rights are separate and a father can have visitation rights established by the court. Visitation rights are not dependent on paying child support.

Will the court see it as denying parenting time if your ex doesn't ask for all of his parenting time he is given?
When my father and mother divorced, my mother was awarded custody, and my father had visitation. His visitation was every other weekend, and every Wednesday for 2 hours. Plus holidays and things. My father did not get us every other weekend, and we did not ever see him on Wednesdays. If it is his choice not to pick up the kids, then the court cannot prove you negligent in any way. As long as you are not keeping the children from him, and telling him he cannot see them, you are fine. HE chooses not to see them. There is nothing you can do to force him to see them.
