Yes. Denial of visitation is a separate matter from child support.
Neither parent; custodial or non custodial decides visitation. Visitation is determined through the courts, and a judge decides when visitation will occur.

at what age can my child stop going for visitation ??
Regardless of what state your child lives in, yes you are required to pay support, the case will become an interstate case. You will send the support payment to the state in which the child resides and the money will be disbursed accordingly.
Being denied visitation or not, a father can petition for sole custody. The two situations are not related.
yes
no
Go to court. Grandparents have rights too.
You will need court permission to move the child or to exercise your visitation in an alternate location.
If the court has awarded you visitation rights, then you have those rights legally and they cannot be denied by the custodial parent.
So this child should be punished for the father being late?
Spouse? Don't you mean your ex? She can not deny visitation unless the child would be in danger of some kind. If the visitation order needs to be changed it can only be done in court and she would have to have good reasons why she denied it. Not liking the ex's new girlfrind is not a reason to deny visitation. This will happen to her too and it's called moving on with life. Ex:) If the dad has visitation rights and a new girlfriend and the custodial parent, the mother, does not approve of the child meeting the new girlfriend, she has no right to dictate to the father who the child sees during visitation. That is entirely up to the father. Unless the girlfriend is unfit to be around the child. That is something the mother would have to prove in court if she wants to prevent them from meeting. This of course also works the other way. The non-custodial parent can not dictate to the custodial parent who the child meets when with her.
he doesn't even have a girlfriend yet
yes, without a court order stating that he is the bio father and is entitled to visitation he can be denide. whether he is in rehab or not. If he is no threat why would you do that ? Just out of spite?

No, and of the two, being denied a father is far most costly to the child and society in general as 85% of crime is committed by those who grew of fatherless.
