It should state in your parenting plan. In my case we split the summer time equally, but each parent gets 2 uninterupted weeks during the summer. But be the better person and let the father have as much time as possible, it's in the best interest of the children for everyone to get along.
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).
If there is a relative or someone close to the family supervising it has to be someone both parents agree on. Otherwise the court will choose one.
It depends on what you want to do. If you don't mind about the father rarely visiting, then there are no steps to be taken. It really is a matter on what you want to do about the father rarely visiting his child.
If you are a good mother I wouldn't DENY the father anything. I think you should set time limits as in do not call after8:30pm on school nights and 10-11pm on the weekends. I don't think it is fair to the child to deny the father the right to speak to his daughter. It will only hurt her in the end.
Need to file a petition for visitation. If the father is the biological father he has a right to visitation. There is no court that will not grant visitation to a father. Unless it is proved in court that the father is unfit. There has to be proof of that.
Okay, cool.
Not if the father hasn't requested a visitation schedule. The mother should allow the father to visit with the child. However, if there is no visitation order in place she won't "get into trouble" if he's is not having visitations with the child. Child support and visitations are two separate issues as far as the court is concerned.Fathers are entitled to visitations. If the mother refuses the father should return to court and request a visitation schedule. The mother will be legally obligated to obey that order.Not if the father hasn't requested a visitation schedule. The mother should allow the father to visit with the child.

no According to the law of most states, you are still required to visit your father, as long as you are under the age of 18. The court can hold the custodial parent (your mother) in contempt of court if the visitation is discontinued without prior court approval.
no
the father gets the custody of the child if the mother dies
The mother can still have sole legal and physical custody when the father is awarded visitations. Custody and visitations are separate matters. The mother would be required to obey the visitation schedule.
No. The father should seek a visitation order and discuss the situation with an attorney.
