Legally the parent has to allow court ordered visitation. The child has to go along with the plan.

In a practical sense, the parents could discuss the matter and then work with the child to find a middle ground. As children grow older, they often prefer not to have their lives interrupted and so it is better to have shorter visits rather than the extended visits that are part of the lives of younger children.

Answer

Yes. The visitation order remains in effect until it has been modified by the court. Generally, a child cannot make the decision to end visitations until the age of eighteen. The parents should try to remedy the situation that makes the child want to stop the visits. If there is a good reason to stop the visits the custodial parent must return to court and request a modification. Until the visitation order is modified the non-custodial parent can file a motion for contempt of a court order against the custodial parent if the visitation order is violated.

Who makes the decisions in your house? You or the child? A child is a minor and needs to do what the parent tells them and go where the parent goes. So, yes, you need to force them. They will pout for awhile, but will get over it. Parenting many times requires parents to do things that the children don't like. Children are ego centered and only think of what they want. It is the parents job to teach them about life and how to live in the world.

The parents decide where a minor lives. If the parents don't agree, a court will decide.

Yes, as long as the parent giving consent has legal custody of the child in question. In cases where parents have joint custody over a child both parents would have to agree to the change.

Not without the consent of the parent with the custody order. However after a certain age some courts will take note of the child's wishes in some cases but is not obligated to follow them.

How can a non-custodial parent give up visitations and still pay support in Massachusetts?

Yes. Visitation is a privilage and a right, but completely optional. Child support is manditory. * There is no legal procedure required for the non-custodial parent to cease visitation. Court order child support is mandatory as long as the support order is valid. Please be advised that a parent who makes no attempt to be a part of their child's/children's life risks having all parental rights permanently terminated if the custodial parent chooses to petition the court for the granting of such action.


If a grandmother has the child and the parent did not sign custody papers can the grand parent file for child support in the state of North Carolina?

Yes who ever has the child legally can file for child support. But you have to demonstrate to the court that the child has been residing with you and you have the physical custody and you want to keep the physical custody and give the other parent visitation and joint legal custody. This is the fastest way to get things done and a direct answer lol.
