If you have a good relationship with him, then whatever you two amicably agree to.
If you don't, then you need to talk to lawyers and make official, legal arrangements about custody and visitation.
If the father has taken a parentity test. Then he will all of the same rights as you. If you two do not agree apon visitation, then the state will determine when visitation will be held. It is better for you two to agree on what works best for the both of you. In my personal situation, my child's father had not acknowledged paternity by signing the birth certificate, therefore, paternity testing was done. Once paternity has been established, my state automatically filed for child support due to my daughter receiving Medicaid. If the state takes the father to court for child support, that is all the court will consider - meaning that they will not handle any custody or visitation issues at that point. It is up to either parent to pursue custody/visitation, usually through an attorney, although it can be done pro se. If paternity has been established then the court will consider a visitation plan. Often times, if the father wishes to establish visitation rights, the courts like to see the two parents come up with an agreeable arrangement together and have it approved by the court. Sometimes the court will request that a mediator work with the two parents to do this. Another option is that the judge will just develop the plan along a standard schedule, which allows for every other weekend and holidays. So, to answer your question, if the father is legally proven to be the father and wishes to have holiday visits then he will have to take you to court for visitation. If the two of you can't agree on a schedule then the judge will more than likely give the father visits every other holiday, which is standard. The father would have to be proven unfit or you must have a valid reason if you want to have the visits be supervised. Without a court approved visitation plan, then the father really has no legal right for visits and it is up to the custodial parent to make the choice.

If married you have equal rights to the child so no visitation needed. If you never been married you have to petition the court for visitation rights.
1) to pay support; 2) to petition the courts for visitation
If you are not married the custody automatically falls on the mother and the father have to go to court to get visitation or custody. If you are married you have equal rights.
No. Not if a family court has jurisdiction over the child and the father has visitation rights. If the parents were never married and there has been no court involvement or paternity established the mother can try to move. However, the father could file an action in court to establish his paternity, visitation rights and prevent the removal of the child from the state.

He should go for full custody, but, give her visitation rights.
As long as he has been established as the father and has not been deemed an unfit parent, the court will grant visitation rights.
