If you live in the US, she gets to decide when she's 18. Until that age if the parent has court-ordered visitation it has to be followed. If there is a valid reason (and it must be a very valid reason) the child does not want to visit with the other parent, you need to petition the court to modify the visitation order.

If the mother has sole physical custody and shares joint legal custody with the father the two never married if the mother dies does custody automatically go to the father?

It depends on the laws of the specific jurisdiction. In many cases, if the mother dies, custody would typically go to the father as the surviving parent with joint legal custody. However, the court may still need to officially grant custody to the father. It's essential to consult with a family law attorney to understand the specific laws and requirements in your area.
