It depends on the father, his relationship with the children, his physical proximity to them, their ages, etc, etc.
So this child should be punished for the father being late?
Yes of course you can. Visitation rights or shared custody should be settled when they are babies. There should have been a visitation order entered at the time the father was granted custody. There is no age restriction. Unless you were deemed an unfit parent you have the right to a visitation schedule. You should return to the court that issued the custody order and request a visitation schedule.
the father has not spent much time with child since she was about 8 months old is not capable of caring for her
The court can change the custody order and take primary custody away from the mother. The father should stay on top of the situation by filing a motion for contempt of a court order (visitation) and every time she violates the visitation order he should keep filing motions for contempt. She may eventually lose custody.The court can change the custody order and take primary custody away from the mother.

It should state in your parenting plan. In my case we split the summer time equally, but each parent gets 2 uninterupted weeks during the summer. But be the better person and let the father have as much time as possible, it's in the best interest of the children for everyone to get along.

That depends on the custody order and the visitation order. However, he should call ahead and let the family know if he decides to exercise his visitation rights after not seeing the child for some time. If he has no visitation rights then it's up to the mother. Either way he should call ahead in case the family has plans.That depends on the custody order and the visitation order.

He can request custody or a visitation order if he is the father of the child. At the same time you should petition to remain the custodial parent and request a child support order.He can request custody or a visitation order if he is the father of the child.

You do have to let your daughter's dad visit your daughter. Interfering with a parent's right to see their child is a huge deal. If you make a habit of it, you'll end up in a lot of trouble, and can even lose custody of the child. As a mother, you have no more right to the child than the father does.
Visitation and child support are two different issues. Legally you can't keep your child from visiting the father on that charge. Some fathers have gotten modified change of custody orders because the mother wouldn't allow visitation.
A married father has equal access until a court rules otherwise. For a single father, a temporary visitation order may be imposed by the court, however, it is more likely the child support and visitation orders will be addressed and rendered at the same time.
yes he can, provided they have filed a settlement agreement with the court in the county in which you live which gives your father rights of visitation or parenting time. If your mom does not allow your father to exercise his rights of visitation with you, she can be held in contempt of court for witholding you from him. If you do not wish to spend time with your father, it's best to explain to him why and usually you can work out a reasonable 'break time' until you want to spend time with him again.
