If no visitation order is in place, file for one in the jurisdiction where the child resides.
If an order is in place and the custodial parent isn't abiding by them, again, in the court of jurisdiction, file a motion of contempt of court against that person for failure to abide by the court order. The non-compliant parent will be ordered to follow the outlined court ordered visitation provisions or face a monetary fine, jail or both. And if the non-compliance becomes chronic, it may lead to a custody modification order, granting custody to the non-custodial parent.
Being denied visitation or not, a father can petition for sole custody. The two situations are not related.
yes
no
Go to court. Grandparents have rights too.
If the court has awarded you visitation rights, then you have those rights legally and they cannot be denied by the custodial parent.
So this child should be punished for the father being late?
yes, without a court order stating that he is the bio father and is entitled to visitation he can be denide. whether he is in rehab or not. If he is no threat why would you do that ? Just out of spite?

No, and of the two, being denied a father is far most costly to the child and society in general as 85% of crime is committed by those who grew of fatherless.
im pretty sure it can happen but it wuold just be stu[id to deny when your gf is living with you
Yes. Denial of visitation is a separate matter from child support.
The mother can if she's not collecting Welfare. In states like Missouri, if being denied visitation, the father can file to have child support put on hold. It also can be stopped after 30 days of extended visitation.
