If he can prove that he is the biological father of the child, he can seek custody or visitation rights, regardless of whether or not he is on the birth certificate or paying child support. In fact, if he is the biological father he can legally have his name added to the birth certificate. However, if he has not been around for 16 years, it is unlikely that a judge will grant anything more than visitation rights, and the child is old enough to have a say in whether or not they want visits from their father.

Unless the court order ordering him to pay child support specifically says otherwise, then yes. He could go to court to seek either to have visitation enforced or child support eliminated or reduced.
