If a father is emotionally or physically abusive, the mother or an attorney acting on behalf of the child may petition the court for a change in the custoday order. * No, minors are not allowed to make such decisions when there is a visitation order in place. Generally the law does not address issues of alledged emotional or verbal abuse as there is such a wide definition of such behavior. The custodial parent can petition for a change in the visitation rights of the non custodial parent, but rarely will visitation be suspended under the cited circumstances, however, supervised visitation might be an option.

When a visitation order is in affect the non custodial parent has the right to request the court to prevent the custodial parent from moving from the state of residence. The issue of marriage is not relevant if the male has been legally certified as being the biological father. The court issuing the visitation order has jurisdiction in such matters and the ruling of whether or not to allow the custodial parent to move is based on the best interest of the children involved. Generally the court will not prevent such a move if it relates to a job transfer, remarriage and so forth, but will amend the visitation schedule, sometimes making the custodial parent bear the responsibility of transportation arrangements when visitation is mandated.

Generally there must be a documented history of abuse or serious neglect before a judge will refuse a biological parent visitation rights. There are 2 different things. Legal custody and Physical custody. Regardless, child support and visitation are two completely different matters.

If the father has no documented record of abuse with the child or any other violations then there's no right against him seeing the mother in which case he asks the court.
