Unless the father REALLY openly says he doesn't want time with his child DO NOT let the mother stop visits.
Too many kids get messed up when adults behave badly in these situations.
People make excuses for their actions, like the child doesn't want to be with (mom/dad) or dad/mom doesn't want to be with the child, but when you dig deeper, it's usually one parent trying to get back at the other.
If the father only sees the child on alternate weekends he should be paying child support anyway. That's not only a legal issue, but a moral one too. He needs to make sure he contributes to his child, no matter what he thinks of his ex.
