No. Child support, visitation, custody etc are all separate issues. The court will see to what is best for the child and one parent can not deny the parental rights of the other.

Can a mother take the child out of state for the holidays without consent of the father who has visitation on that weekend she wants to go out of state?
No
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).
Can support stop or be reduced if the child does not want anything to do with father because this is what mother wants?
No. Support and visitation are separate issues.
The mother of your child wants child support and filed for no visitation rights for you?

What rights does a father have if he wasnt married to the mother?
1) to pay support; 2) to petition the courts for visitation
Are you obligated to pay child support if the mother is leaving visitation up to the children?
Yes. visitation and child support are two separate issues. If there is a visitation order it has to be followed. The children do not have a choice and it's the parent's obligation to see to that the court order is obeyed. If the court order for visitation is violated you have to report this back to the court by filing a motion for contempt against the custodial parent. You must obey your child support order. If you fail to pay you will be in contempt of court are child support arrears will continue to accumulate. If you have not petitioned for visitation and just left it up to the mother to decide there is nothing you can do but go back to court and request a visitation order.
What can an illegal father do if paying child support and mother does not let him see him on visitation days?
You have to keep paying child support. The visitation issue is separate and you should consider straightening out your legal status so that you can seek relief. If you were not married to the child's mother, your options are also limited.
What is a maternal mother?
Maternal refers to mother. Paternal refers to father. So the maternal mother would be the mothers mother and the paternal mother would be the fathers mother.
Do you still have to pay child support if she has full custody and won't let you see your child?
Yes. Child support and visitation are two separate issues. You need to return to court and request a visitation order or file a motion for contempt if the mother is in violation of a visitation order. If you stop paying your child support that will compound your problems.
What is a maternity?
Maternal refers to mother. Paternal refers to father. So the maternal mother would be the mothers mother and the paternal mother would be the fathers mother.
If the father is not paying child support and his wife is being verbally violent towards the child and his mother can the birth mother stop visitation for the step mother?
With approval of the court.
Can a mother take fathers rights to a minor child if he is paying child support?
If you're the father, and the mother is attempting to deny you visitation rights, you need to get a lawyer and take it to court. If you're the mother, and you'd like to deny the father visitation rights, you need to get a lawyer and take it to court. Child support is an entirely separate issue. It has NOTHING to do with visitation or custody rights. You are obligated to abide by the court orders in both cases, but you don't get to stop paying support or deny visitation just because the other parent did the other one of those things.
