Whatever he obtains from the courts. The two are not connected.
His rights are to pay child support and petition for visitation.
child support and visitation rights are two totally different things. The answer is no.
Until paternity is established the birth mother is considered to hold sole custody of a minor child. For a father to have custodial or visitation rights it must be agreed on by the mother of the child or through the prescribed court procedures by means of a lawsuit.
How does he have any visitation rights with a custody and child support order?
The right to petition for custody or visitation and the right to pay support. [Paternity must be established before any discussion of rights or responsibilities.]
yes
If you're the father, and the mother is attempting to deny you visitation rights, you need to get a lawyer and take it to court. If you're the mother, and you'd like to deny the father visitation rights, you need to get a lawyer and take it to court. Child support is an entirely separate issue. It has NOTHING to do with visitation or custody rights. You are obligated to abide by the court orders in both cases, but you don't get to stop paying support or deny visitation just because the other parent did the other one of those things.
Child support and visitation are separate issues and giving up visitation does not cancel the responsibility to pay child support. A request to reestablish visitation can be filed even after previously waiving visitation.
In most cases the parent who has the child doesn't have to pay child support. The parent who does not have the child pays child support if they want visitation rights. In most jurisdictions, the non custodial parent must pay child support even without visitation rights.
Visitation and child support are separate issues. One does not depend on the other. Parents must provide support for their children. There are many variations in visitation rights and those do not generally affect child support obligations.Visitation and child support are separate issues. One does not depend on the other.

An unmarried father cannot "choose" to not pay child support. The laws in every state require that a father pay for the support of his child. The mother must bring an action to the appropriate court so that a child support order can be established. Visitation rights are separate and a father can have visitation rights established by the court. Visitation rights are not dependent on paying child support.
Absolutely not. Visitation rights are decided by the court. Unless the court changes the visitation order, non-payment of child support is not grounds to withhold legal visitation rights.
