Can she legally keep the child away from him? Its a very weird situation and if ANYONE has any ideas or suggestions ......

If there is nothing legal set for CS or visitation then yes she can prevent visitation, but in the same respect, he is not legally obligated to pay support and any monies he gives her is/will be considered a gift if an order is ever made.
The only way to ensure his rights is to file for visitation.
