It's not the parent who decide whether there will be visitation rights or not, that is the court and a parent is not obligated to petition for one. A parent can not be forced to have a relationship with their child. Apart from paying child support.

Does a parent have to pay child support without having visitation rights?
Yes, child support and visitation are two different legal issues and they are addressed separately. However, if there has been no court order issued in the past and the parents are unmarried the father must establish his paternity in order to petition for a visitation order. Once his paternity has been legally established the mother can petition for a child support order.

Can a parent with sole custody move out of state if the other parent doesn't visit?
In most cases, yes. The parent with sole custody must however inform the court that issued the custodial order and the non custodial parent before the move.

If this happens there are organizations that can help you get your child back. COntact the Red Cross for information if needed.

If a parent does not exercise his visitation rights what happens?
You go to the court and file a violation of a court order. You will both be served the petition and have to go back to court and that's when you explain to the judge he hasn't been showing, and the judge will deal with the situation on the assigned court date.
What action can be taken when a custodial parent relocates with out notifing the court?
That depends on the law where you live. If a parent has sole legal custody, some states have no provision stating a parent must get anyone's permission including that of the court before they move out of state. In other states, if a move would present a hardship for the non-custodial parent in terms of visitation, the mother may be compelled to provide transportation costs for the non-custodial parent's visitation. In still other states, if a court ordered custody/visitation schedule is on record, the parent may not relocate without either the permission of the non-custodial parent, the court or both. As you can see from my response, the law varies widely. You would need to provide your state of residence for an informed answer.
Do you need the father's permission to take child out of state?
Yes. Physical custody does not constitute sole legal custody, in which one parent has been given the legal authority to make all decisions concerning a minor child, including change of residency. In some states even a parent who has sole legal custody must inform the court and the noncustodial parent before making the move.
If your son has partial custody does a grandparent have a right to time with child as well?
Grandprents generally do not have rights to a grandchild if the child has 2 parents in the child's life. A judge may grant some grandparent time but only if it does not interfer with the parents visitation times and the child's development time (such as school).In this society, children are very busy and go from parent to parent so much that it is hard for a judge to grant any time.This really is something that you need to talk to the parents of the child about. Remember, your grandchild already has parents. These parents need to do their jobs. It is not up to the grandparents to step in unless there is a very good reason.
With no joint custody can a mother move her child out of state?
Although the practices may vary from state to state. Generally, if there is a divorce or custody order that court has jurisdiction over the child and the parent cannot remove the child from the state so as to affect the other parent's access. The non-custodial parent may consent if their visitation needs are taken into consideration. The parent who desires to move must request permission from the court and the court will hear objections.
