When custodial rights and/or visitation has not been legally established, the decision belongs to the parent who has primary physical custody of the child. If the couple are not married, the mother retains the legal right to make all decisions regarding the child (except support) until a court decides otherwise.
Custodial issues are determined by the terms of the original or amended custodial/visitation court order. If the order does not specify the terms of such issues as holidays, it is up to the primary custodial parent (the one whom the child resides) to decide when or if visitation should occur.
Neither parent; custodial or non custodial decides visitation. Visitation is determined through the courts, and a judge decides when visitation will occur.

First, it is an Urban Myth that fathers go for custody to avoid paying child support. First, who would support the children while in his custody? Less then 15% of mothers are ordered to pay, and depending on circumstances, the custodial father is often still ordered to pay child support.
No, and many jurisdictions take denial of visitation very seriously (as they should!).
Absolutely not. The custodial parent is obligated by law to obey the visitation order. If they don't the non-custodial should return to court and file a motion for contempt of a court order.

Unless there is a court order which prevents the non-custodial parent from having access to the child, then you should not deny the visitation unless you have absolute proof that allowing visitation is a danger to your child. It's best to speak to a lawyer and find out about modifying any current custodial order that may already be in place if necessary.
No. The non-custodial parent needs to have the visitation rights enforced by the court if necessary.
If there is a court order to that affect the child and the custodial parent must adhere to the terms of the visitation order. If that does not take voluntarily take place the non custodial parent can petition the court to make visitation mandatory. The exception would be if by allowing a minor child to engage in visitation with the non custodial parent it would place the child in an environment of neglect and/or endangerment.
