If this is court ordered then you will have to seek legal counsel to take full custody. Beware! Children can misconstrue what happens to them although we must always protect them and be sure that her father is simply not just setting some hard and fast rules for her and she doesn't like them. Even at 10 some children can be dramatic and get even with dear old dad. Get to the bottom of it if possible (communicate with her father) and if you aren't satisfied with what he has to say then seek legal counsel and get sole custody.
Legally no, but since visitation is a low enforcement item, they know they can get away with it. see links below
Yes, by her father.
You have to go to court. if he never have had visitation before he has to apply for it in court.
A 16 year old girl does not want any over night visitation with her father does she have to go? *** If they live in the US and Dad has court-ordered visitation, she has to go. If there is a legitimate reason that she doesn't want to go (he's abusive, a drug user, etc), then the custodial parent can go back to court and request that the visitation order be modified. However, without a legitimate reason, the court will not deny a parent the right to visit/maintain a relationship with their 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.

Yes, he was abused physically and mentally.
Only if he allows you to.
He doesn't. Only the courts can award/enforce visitation.
It depends. If he has abused you in the past, you can report him and request a restraining order. If not, you have you visit him.
No, she cannot, without a court order specifically stating that she can. "Mentally abused" is really easy to claim, and really hard to prove. So don't expect to be able to get such a court order.
yes biological fathers may seek visitation and custody rights
A court would never award custody or visitation rights to a convicted child abuser.
Yes, visitation can be stopped if the father has no home.
Tell the court about it.
Ben Tankard's adopted daughter, Brooklyn Tankard, alleged that her biological father sexually abused her when she was a child. Ben Tankard has been protective of his daughter and has spoken openly about the abuse she experienced.
You don't say how old the child is. What are your reason's for leaving the state. Is this move in the child's best interest. Does the biological father object. Legal papers mean nothing. Are you doing the morally right thing for your daughter and her relationship with her father. If you are moving for financial reasons, just make sure your daughter and her father continue to have on going visitation and contact as often as possible. That is not your right to take away.
Because you love your father even if he abused you.
