Is it child abuse if a parent said his child could choose what ever he wants and the parent does not let him go to the school he wants to go to?
Depends if the parent has said that the child can choose what he wants, if the parent has then it is recommended that the child is given the choice of the school that they get to go to
At what age is a child in NJ allowed to speak to the judge about where he wants to live?
This is interpreted by the judge as to the maturity of the child, but the rule of thumb is age 12. see links below for further info.
What if the father knows that it's his child but wants nothing to do with the child?
A judge can order child support from the father if a court-ordered DNA test proves that he is the child's father.
When a person has full custody of a child can the child go back?
This depends on what you are asking as there are many different situations. For example, if the child is old enough for a Judge to take their wants into consideration, and the place where the child wants to 'go back' to is a safe environment, then it can be possible.
What do parents have to do when a child wants to drop out of school?
Parents have to persuade the child that school is a great place to learn and relax. They go more easy on their child and try to soothe her/him that school is a proper and healthy enviorment for a child to grow.

Is there a form that a minor child signs stating which parent he wants to live with in Texas?
There is no form, however the child can write a certified letter to the judge stating their preference and if the child is 12 or over, Texas law mandates the judge must meet with them to discuss their wishes. If the child is under 12, it is up to the judge whether he/she will allow such a meeting. And finally, even though the judge will take the child's preferences into consideration, it is no guarantee he/she will change their mind and modify or rule based on the child's wishes alone. The judge will rule what they feel is in the best interests of the child.
Can a judge rule on two matters when only one is presented?
A Judge can do whatever he/she wants, especially in child matters. If at the time of the hearing evidence is presented that shows a change is needed and such change is in the manifest best interest of the child, a Judge will eat crow and worry about the consequences with the appellate later rather than leave a child behind.
Would you want your child in online or on-ground learning program?
This all depends on the type of program you want for your child. If your child is currently going to school (high-school as an example) and that school does not offer a course that your child wants have your child talk to the school's guidance office to help find a good program online.

Can a mother deny her child the right to testify in her dads favor for custody?
Unless the judge ask for it or the child lives in a state where he/she is old enough for a judge to listen to, the child will not be heard. It's the parents or court who decides custody and the child can not choose. If the child will be heard he/she has the right to say whatever they want.ClarificationCourts rarely require a child to testify in a custody matter and if they do, the judge is more likely to speak with the child privately rather than have them "testify" in court. The child cannot be "called as a witness" for one party. If the judge wants to speak with the child the parent cannot refuse. In most cases the judge will order an evaluation by one or more court appointed professionals (psychologist, pediatrician, social worker, attorney, etc.) who will then submit a report of their findings and recommendations to the judge to assist her/him in rendering a decision. The judge will then, in some cases, interview the child.
