My neice was left with the next door neighbor for a year while her mother in another country. The mother does not want us to have contact her. What rights does the father have? They are still legally married.

The father can file a petition in court for custody of the child if he wants that. Beyond that, the father certainly has the right to visit with the child and maintain a relationship with her.
