A step-parent has no legal rights regarding your child. The biological mother has visitation rights and other rights when the child is in her custody.
It matters if the father is named on the certificate as the father. If so, then he has as much rights as the mother. But in a court of law you might find the mother has a little more. Only if the mother has a problem will the father get custody. The law see's the mother as the one who the child should live with.
In the UK, if you are married when your children are born, you both automatically have parental rights. If you are not married, then you have to apply for parental responsibility rights, if the mother does not want to share that with you. This can be done by court order. After 2003, if not married but father is written on the birth certificate, that is enough to have parental responsibility and all that that entails. Not sure how it is for you guys in the USA!
Unless there is a court order. The mother has presumed custody and full parental rights. For a father or non custodial parent to have ordered visitaton a court order must be obtained. Sometimes the court will require a paternity test also. If is an amicable relationship, then it is whatever you two agree to. REMEMBER, regardless of the mother and fathers relationship and how they feel about one another, the individual mother child and father child relationship is extremely important and NEVER use the child(ren) as a tool or weapon.
No. If the biological father wants to assert parental rights he may file a petition with the court to order a paternity test taken. If presented with such an order the mother must comply or be held in contempt of court. A biological parent cannot be forced to relinquish parental rights it must be done voluntarily or said rights terminated by the court for reasons of abuse and/or neglect.
Only if the biological father of the 17-year-old has had his paternal rights terminated either voluntarily or by order of the court.
By petitioning the family court in your parish of residence for the same. Termination of rights does not terminate child support obligations.

No. That can only be done by a court order.
She does so through an attorney or files the papers herself in the family court in her state of residence. Any termination or circumstantial changes of/in parental rights has to be court approved.
You need to take the mother back to court to enforce the visitation order. You should act ASAP. The mother is in contempt of a court order and if she continues to ignore the court she could lose custody.
If there is a coiurt order that the child should be with the mother yes.

Yes she can deny it unless he get a court order for it. Then she have no choice. Just like she has rights as a mother, he has rights as a father.
The mother's right is to sole legal and physical custody of the children and the right to obtain child support for her children. Depending on her state of residence, the mother may also petition the court to have the father's parental rights terminated or request the state do the same if she cannot do it herself. Termination of parental rights does not terminate child support obligations.
