That's handled by child support enforcement.
Child support and visitation are two separate issues. The child is a minor and is not allowed to decide. Any changes to the court order has to be done at the court that issued it.
the phrase "it is done" that was the last words of Jose Rizal
Yes, because the father has no legal rights to the child. see links
No but it is not easy to have it done, the judge wants good reasons for it. And he will still have to pay child support.
Since losing them can include not paying support, it can only be done if an adoption is the intent.
Unfortunately, you'll have to take this dead-beat to court. It won't be easy and a genetic testing will be done to prove he is the father (I am sure he will request this.) If the test are conclusive you are darned rights he has to pay child support. Good luck Marcy
Paternity must be established before any discussion of rights. Once that is done, the father has the right to pay child support and the right to petition for visitation - these are separate processes.

The child support is owed to your mother to be used for your expenses, not to you, and to stop paying what he owes he has to go to court. If it's not done in court it is not legal.
