    Only the courts can take away rights, and he does not love them merely for not visiting or being around.
    The mother could have course file to take some away ( depends on the state, in GA for example merely not paying support or not visit is not enough to take rights away)

    And of course mom does not like dad, so she will say what she want you to hear.

    If the dad wants custody, he will have to file a motion in court asking for it.
