It's not for the mother to decide. He has to petition for visitation in court. She can not go against a court order.

Could father get custody if mother leaves child and moves in with friends?
If she abandons the child, yes.
When a father abandons his child does he still have rights?
Yes, he still has rights, though his history of non-involvement can be brought up in custody proceedings. A mother cannot withhold visitation for non-support of a child, nor can she interfere with a visitation court order.
If the mother deprive the father the right to see his child and he pays child support what are will the courts do for legal relief for him?
If the father has visitation rights and the mother refuses to allow the father those rights, then the father can sue the mother in a civil contempt proceeding. If she doesn't have a good reason for disallowing the visitation then she can be held in contempt of court. There are various remedies including giving the father more visitation to make up for the visitation that was disallowed by the mother or even giving the father custody, but usually, the judge will just order the mother to allow the visits. His paying or not paying child support has nothing to do with whether or not he gets visitation (i.e. he gets visitation regardless of whether or not he is current with child support).
Can a mother get into trouble if the father is paying child support and not seeing the child?
Not if the father hasn't requested a visitation schedule. The mother should allow the father to visit with the child. However, if there is no visitation order in place she won't "get into trouble" if he's is not having visitations with the child. Child support and visitations are two separate issues as far as the court is concerned.Fathers are entitled to visitations. If the mother refuses the father should return to court and request a visitation schedule. The mother will be legally obligated to obey that order.Not if the father hasn't requested a visitation schedule. The mother should allow the father to visit with the child.

Can a father take the mother to court before child is born to get visitation rights?
no
Can the mother loose rights if she legitimizes her child?
The father might seek visitation and/or custody.
The father and mother have a verbal agreement on visitation but the father never returned the child and the mother had no way of contacting the father and now the father has filed for custody?
Okay, cool.
Can a mother withhold from the father where his child is living?
No. The father should seek a visitation order and discuss the situation with an attorney.
Does the father of a child have any rights to the child if the mother has 100 percent custody?
He has the right to petition the courts for visitation.
Do you have the right as an unwed mother to deny the biological father visitation rights?
You do not have the right to deny visitations but if you do, the father can and should request a court hearing to establish his paternity and get visitation rights. He can request custody or joint custody and the court will render a decision. If the child is to remain with the mother the court will set up a child support order and the father can file contempt charges if the mother withholds visitation or violates the visitation order in any other way.
Can the mother of a child take the child while he is visiting with the father at his home?
Not if there is a visitation order in place and the visit is scheduled. If there is no visitation order in place the father should establish one through the local family court.
If the father is not paying child support and his wife is being verbally violent towards the child and his mother can the birth mother stop visitation for the step mother?
With approval of the court.
