Yes unless/until a Court changes the order to not require visitation.

The issue is too complicated for a simple answer. I expect the child's mother will want to go to court to have it clarified that she has legal custody and primary physical placement. Consult an experienced family lawyer. It's almost always worth the expense.

The issue is not whether the child wants to, but whether there is a parenting plan in place. Even if there is, you can make a motion to the court to require that he see here here if she has not seen him for 5 or 6 years.

In Ohio, child support and visitation are 2 seperate issues; I would file a motion to terminate his visitation for lack of exercising it for the past 5 years and make hime explain to the court
