If the mom has custody. If they have to split custody then no she doesn't.
Whether you can stop overnight visits for your child with their father living with a girlfriend and her baby depends on several factors, including the custody agreement in place and any concerns for the child's safety or well-being. If you believe the environment is not suitable for your child, you may need to seek legal advice or modify the custody arrangement through the courts. It's essential to prioritize the child's best interests and communicate any concerns effectively. Always consider mediation or legal guidance to navigate the situation appropriately.
I would think that to be your judgement, unless specifics were discussed regarding this topic in the papers.
At the same age the child is allowed to stay overnight with the mother.
The child may refuse visits if the child is now an adult or emancipated, or if there is no order for visitation.
Should fathers in intact homes be barred from caring for an infant child overnight if the mother works, or otherwise is not available?
That is dependent on the type and it's affect on the safety of the child.
Until/unless you are determined to be the child's father, no.
If you are the father of the child yes. Why do you ask? do you expect someone else to pay for raising your child? Your child - your responsibility - be the best father you can.

Yes, until you have established your paternity legally. Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Remember, a child's mother can always be identified by medical records. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he can establish his paternity through a DNA test. A paternity test can be arranged through the court. Once paternity is established in court, the father can request visitations or custody through the court. If the mother retains physical custody she can request that the court issue a child support order. If the father gets physical custody he can request a child support order.
He is the father and not to allow him his child would hurt the child. Take him to family court for the support.
