180 days per year, per parent on a 2 year average.
How does the two interfere with each other?
No
If longer than 30 days, outside a normal extended visitation.
No, but beyond 30 days, and provided it's not during a summer extended visitation, a motion for a change of custody can be filed.
Child support and visitation rights are two entirely different issues. The terms of visitation should have been determined before divorce proceedings and finalized when the divorce decree was awarded. The court generally prefers the parents reach an amicable agreement for reasonable visitation by the non-custodial parent. If specified days/times have been ordered by the court the custodial parent must allow visitation or risk being in contempt of a court order.
Usually a percentage of time is divided between parents for child visitation. If one parent has primary custody, they probably have the child 70% of the time ... that would leave you with 30%. In days, that would be about 2.1 days per week. The actual 'rate' or allotted time for each parent is determined by the courts at the time of legal separation and/or divorce. The judge will determine these amounts in some cases.
Normally within 30 days, sometimes longer. Most of the time the judge will slap custodial parent on the wrist and say "no, no. You shouldn't have kept the other parent from seeing the child". It is very sad!
unless the judge thinks that the child's visit with the non-custodial parent is in any way harming the child in question, then a child must wait until they are 18 to choose not to see the non-custodial parent
Child support and visitation rights are different issues. If there is no visitation order from the court the custodial parent can decide if visitation will be allowed and if it is, the terms, such as days, hours, etc. The non-custodial parent can file a petition with the court for visitation rights if an amicable solution cannot be agreed upon. Generally there must be a documented history of abuse or serious neglect before a judge will refuse a biological parent visitation rights. There are 2 different things. Legal custody and Physical custody. Regardless, child support and visitation are two completely different matters. He CAN ask the courts for visitation, it does not matter if he has been paying or not. If the father has no documented record of abuse with the child or any other violations then there's no right against him seeing the mother in which case he asks the court.
There would have to be more to it then just leaving them along. If they attended school and didn't throw any parties, there shouldn't be a problem with it.

Notice to the custodial parent is an important thing to most of them. It is advised that the visiting, or non-custodial parent, observe the formalities of the visitation requirements, especially in early days of the divorce relationship.Fights break out easily enough in these matters without fanning the flames. Considerate treatment of each other goes a long way towards dosing the flames, at least to a smoldering condition.1. Sign the letter.2. Keep a folder with letters of this kind in them, especially if you are the person paying child support, alimony, and the like (generally the non-custodial parent).3. Courts have made it clear, on a repetitive basis, that payment or nonpayment of child support and various other financial matters do not impact the rights to visit the minor children involved.4. This means the non-custodial parent may not withhold money payments if their visitation rights are violated and custodial parents may not withhold visitation rights if money is not paid as due by court order or agreement, certified by the court.5. Visitation is supposed to be about the children. Try to keep it that way. Good luck!
If you do not have any custody papers that state specific visitation, then yes he can in most states. If there are no court orders, in most places he has the same rights you do. If you have papers saying that he can only have the child on certain days or times, and he is outside of that regulation, he may be interfering with child custody.
