The law does not require a father to be involved with his child. On the other hand, a father who wants visitation will almost certainly get it, altho it can be supervised or otherwise restricted if evidence suggests that the father should not be alone with the child.
Child support and visitation are two separate issues. The father has the right to request a visitation schedule with his child. Visitation is not dependent on paying child support.
Unless you show cause that its in the best interest of the child not to see his father. For example if father has a violent record I doubt they will grant visitation. Also you can ask for monitored visitation.

no
Not automatically, but the father certainly has a right to move for visitation and, ordinarily, it should be granted.
Visitation is not based on any particular age.
It depends on the state. I know it Tx once paternity is established that the father has the right to request visitation through the courts. The judge will take into account that they have never met. Mostly likely, If the father does not present a threat to the child he will be granted some sort of visitation. If visitation is denied by the mother she could face criminal charges. By filing child support you are establishing paternity and giving the child's father all the rights as an unwed father.
Only the court can legally suspend visitation rights.
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).
That is up to the courts and not the adoptive father.
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.
