The short answer is "yes". If a custody agreement has not been set and lawyers are not involved then the mother does not have to let anyone see her child. However, if the father's name is on the birth certificate, he may have the same rights. In some states, the father listed on the birth certificate (especially if the couple were married) has as much right to "protect" his child as the mother, meaning he can keep the child away from the mother until the court arranges custody.

∙ 13y agoIt depends on the circumstance and the law of the state in which you reside. In Georgia, if you are the mother of a child born out of wedlock, you can refuse visitation and the father would need to obtain a court order granting the father visitation. If you are married and separated and/or going through a divorce proceeding, mother and father each have equal custodial rights to the child(ren.) Therefore, a parent can "refuse" visitation, however, such refusal would not stop the other parent from picking the child(ren) up from school, daycare, etc. and not returning the child(ren) to the other parent even upon the other parent's request.

Why should you pay child support if you can't reap the benefit of seeing your child due to a greedy immoral mother?
Check the working of the visitation in the court order. If it states that you are entitled to certain days/hours, then you have the legal right to those times. The mom cannot deny this time for you ... she could face contempt of court and be fined for not obeying the agreed upon visitation program.
