Without knowing your state, it is impossible to say. The baseline rule is probably "no," but there actually are a lot of situations where a non-custodial parent might be forced to provide his or her address to the custodial parent. The example that pops to mind is for the enforcement of a child support order, the state may require the non-custodial parent to disclose their address, either directly to the custodial parent or through a state agency.

Another Perspective

This is a serious issue. 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.
No, you don't have to since the child(ren) do not live with you. However, if the non-custodial parent has visitation rights, then, same parent is entitled to know the other parent's address, phone, etc.

My question to you is why not? If the answer cannot be found in your final judgment or settlement agreement then do what any good parent would do, barring any domestic violence, injunctions, or other court orders and give the phone number to the other parent. Otherwise, provid the child with a cell phone so the child can speak to the other parent on his/her own.

yes, the only time there would be an exception would be if there was domestic violence involved or any kind of child molestation, then the courts may allow you to keep that information private.

Of course. The non-custodial parent has a right to know where their child is living unless their parental rights have been terminated by a court order.

Can a parent be in contempt of court for not allowing a non custodial parent visitation because she wont give her new address?

Yes. If the non custodial parent is denied visitation as outlined in the court order than the custodial parent is in contempt. Perhaps you should also establish a neutral exchange site and request the each parent notify the other parent within 48hrs any change in address or phone number. The custodial parent should know where the child will be when she is with the non-custodial parent. If something should happen to the non-custodial parent the custodial parent should know where to get the child. Wanting to keep that type of information secret shows a problem of non-cooperation and a parent who is not thinking of the best interests of the child.
