∙ 11y agoNo, if you do that you are in violation of the court order and can get into trouble for that. He is however violating the court order by not giving you the address. Have you lawyer sending him a letter explaining to him that he is in violation. Then tell your ex that you are not withholding visitation but until you have his address the visitation will be at your home. If you check the court order it should all be there, what a violation is and the consequences. If you trust him enough though and feel the kids are in good hands when they are with him and he would not just take them and leave, you can let them go to visitation anyway and call your lawyer to be sure it wont happen again.
Another PerspectiveThis is a serious issue that should be taken to court as soon as possible. For safety reasons the custodial parent has the right to know where the child will be during visitations. They have the right to have a contact number and address. A refusal by the NC parent to provide their address is cause for concern and may place the child at risk in an emergency.Suppose the child was not returned from a visit, the authorities were called in and when asked where the child had been visiting the custodial parent had to answer, "I don't know". Wanting to keep that type of information secret implies a problem that could become more serious in light of custody disputes and parental kidnapping. Courts do not assist such adversarial behavior between parents. If there is a reason to keep the address secret it would be arranged through a court order.
Most separation agreements and court orders contain a provision requiring that both parents keep the other informed of new addresses, and both parents to keep the other informed as to where the child is. If there is no existing order to that affect then you should get one. The custodial parent could file a motion asking the judge to immediately order the other parent to give you, in writing, the address where he is taking the child and a permanent order to continually update that information within two weeks as necessary.

∙ 11y ago- If there is no joint custody then yes, the mother can deny visitation rights to the father. However, unless the father is unfit such as a drug user; belongs to a gang; has a criminal record then the child should come first and should have the right to see the father no matter how the mother feels about the father of her child.

∙ 11y agoIf there is a visitation order the mother must obey it or she will be in contempt of a court order. If she wants to change the court order she has to petition the court for a modification and provide a good reasons why the child should not be allowed to see his father.

∙ 11y agoWhen married they both have equal right to the children so if there is no court order for temporary custody she can not. In that case the father can in fact go to court and get temporary custody if he wants. If there is one there should be a schedule for visitation.

∙ 12y agoNo. A mother has no such power. Only a court can deny visitation rights of a father. During a marriage both parents have equal rights concerning the child. If she wants to stop visits with the father she must petition the court and provide compelling evidence that it is in the best interest of the children. The court will investigate and review the situation and render a decision.

If a father gave full custody of the children to the mother on their divorce papers what right does the father still have to see his children or share custody?
You have the visitation rights that were established in the divorce, and you have no custody rights.

yes biological fathers may seek visitation and custody rights
How do you know if you have full custody?
An unmarried mother has full custody of her child unlessthe father has established his paternity through the court. He can then request custody and visitation rights. A divorced mother must review her divorce decree and all related court orders if she is unsure about the status of the custody of her child.

Mother will not let father have his child for his weekend. What should the father do?
The father must file a motion for contempt in the court that has jurisdiction over the case. If there is no court ordered visitation then the father must request a visitation order. This situation must be addressed and resolved through the court system
If the mother deprive the father the right to see his child and he pays child support what are will the courts do for legal relief for him?
If the father has visitation rights and the mother refuses to allow the father those rights, then the father can sue the mother in a civil contempt proceeding. If she doesn't have a good reason for disallowing the visitation then she can be held in contempt of court. There are various remedies including giving the father more visitation to make up for the visitation that was disallowed by the mother or even giving the father custody, but usually, the judge will just order the mother to allow the visits. His paying or not paying child support has nothing to do with whether or not he gets visitation (i.e. he gets visitation regardless of whether or not he is current with child support).
Can a mother of the father be a supervisor for visitation If the father is granted supervised visitation can the mother of the father be the supervisor?
If there is a relative or someone close to the family supervising it has to be someone both parents agree on. Otherwise the court will choose one.
If a father has visitation rights but rarely comes to see his child what steps can be taken?
It depends on what you want to do. If you don't mind about the father rarely visiting, then there are no steps to be taken. It really is a matter on what you want to do about the father rarely visiting his child.
How can my son get visition papers to see his kids in fl.Court said he can.The mother said no?
Need to file a petition for visitation. If the father is the biological father he has a right to visitation. There is no court that will not grant visitation to a father. Unless it is proved in court that the father is unfit. There has to be proof of that.
The father and mother have a verbal agreement on visitation but the father never returned the child and the mother had no way of contacting the father and now the father has filed for custody?
Okay, cool.
