Here's the story as I know it....
The father and mother hooked up once threw friends, Afterwords the Mother wanted nothing further to do with the father. (oups, the birth-control failed) 10 years later, the mother file's threw the court for childsupport after finding out how well off the father is. (wants a piece of the pie). In court ordered that child support be granted, but no back child support is owed the mother because father had no idea of a child existing until now. Visitation was also granted to father. That happened 5yrs ago, and the mother has been in contempt of the visitation rights granted the father sence the ruling including going as far as moving 300 miles away from the father to prevent contact. the Child has no relation with the father.
The Father always pays his childsupport none the less, without seeing any options, But has a family of his own (wife, ect.) The mother (who married 1 month after the ruling) and has children from both halfs.

Well, ignore the advise to stop payments. You are paying to support your offspring, not for visitation. They are seperate issues.
You need to gt back to court. They will supervise visits, most likely somewhere between where you two live. You could force instant over nights, but this is a 15 year old child, they will not take kindly to you showing up out of the blue.

Well my all out honest answer is if he has gone ten years without seeing and bonding with this child then do not involve the child now. It is going to be a hurting situation and the child will not understand. But I do say that the father should just continue to pay support and get a court date set that states he has not been given his visitation. When that all falls into play then he may or may not have to still carry out his obligation financially.
Either way the child is in the middle of this due to the mother's misbehaving. But the father is doing the right thing by not sending his child support.
If you really want this to change then you need to make notes of times and places he is to be seeing his child, after 6 months get an attorney and take her back to court for violation of her court order.

Technically if he wanted to be an @$$ Then he could go to the courthouse and stop payment on his child support for lack of seeing the child. My oldest daughters father did that, and he only lives 45 minuets north,and had access to her, but chose not to! He can also bring it up to the courts that the mother has moved and he has no way to contact her, and file suit against her and make her life as miserable as she did his!
GOOD LUCK!!!

It is my understanding (in Missouri it might be different) that the mother can only deny the father of his regular visitation 2 times in a row, and after that, if he chooses to, he can hire an attorney to file suit against her.

Go back to court
She has violated court ordered visitation by not making child available to you
also she moved has she given that info to the court?
usually the one who moves has to absorb the cost of facilitating visitation
Good luck
