Yes. A father does have a right to see their child.

Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Remember, a child's mother can always be identified by medical records. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he must seek other means of establishing his paternity and that is done through paternity test. A paternity test can be arranged through the court and once established the father can request visitations, custody and set up child support for the child.

If your ex hasn't paid child support in a month do you have to send your child for visitation?

He's not paying for the right to see his child or for the child's right to see his father. He's paying for the upkeep of the child. Think of the message that will send to the child; If you father can not pay you have no right to see him. If he's not paying you have to go to court. Starting to mess with the custody agreement on your own will just cause trouble.

Does the father of your child have any rights as a father if he is illegal and will be deported if he goes to court to fight for visitation rights?

Yes, he still has a right to be the child's father. Illegally or Legally he is the child's biological father and no matter what anyone says You, the mother and The father laid down and had the child so i think he has every right to be the child's father legally or illegally. And for him to be deported and he has a child is down right wrong. But if he is deported i think when the child is old enough you should sit down and talk about daddy. There are such things as passports, go see the father if he is deported. i really hope that i was a little help Sincerely, M.A.H.
