The mother can still have sole legal and physical custody when the father is awarded visitations. Custody and visitations are separate matters. The mother would be required to obey the visitation schedule.

The non-custodial parent should file for visitation rights for the child in the county where custody was given. If the parent who has custody of the child is preventing the non-custodial parent the right of visitation they can be found in contempt of court if visitation has already been established. If the custodial parent has too many repeated contempts filed against them, custody can be switched to the other parent.

The father has the child living with him and enrolled in school. The mother does not bring her back after weekend visitation and there is no court order. What happens?
If the parents are unmarried and there is no custody order then nothing happens. The father needs to establish his paternity legally and request custody and/or visitations. The court will also issue a child support order. If there is no marriage to establish legal status then the parties must establish legal relationships and custody by court orders.
Can a child at 11 years old have a say to not want to se his farther?
The child is always free to express their wishes, either in court or by writing a letter to the judge in charge of their custody/visitation. If the judge feels the child provides valid reasons why they no longer wish to visit their father, the visitation order may be modified. However, court ordered visitation must continue until that happens, if it happens. Otherwise, the mother could be found in contempt of court and fined or even jailed for their child's failure to obey court ordered visitation.
