No you cannot. That would be classified as kidnapping across state lines in the event the parents decided to go after you for it which is a federal offense.

Neither parent; custodial or non custodial decides visitation. Visitation is determined through the courts, and a judge decides when visitation will occur.
In California, unless the noncustodial parent is unfit, the court will order that slowly the parent be introduced into the child's life. For instance, start off with a 2-hour supervised visit once a week for a month, then an unsupervised daytime visit once a week for a month, followed by one overnight visit a month for 3 months, then every other weekend for several months. At this point, the court is hopeful that both parents can reach an agreement through mediation as to what is the best visitation schedule for the child. The baby-steps I mentioned above are usually followed by a social worker or court-appointed mediator to ensure the child is adjusting appropriately and to ensure both parents are behaving responsibly. If the custodial parent talks badly to the child about the noncustodial parent, the court will speed up this process and reprimand the custodial parent. Remember, it's all about what is best for the child.

No, not arbitrarily. You would need to work it out with the non-custodial parent and get their consent to the change. A good solution might be to offer to substitute another visitation time that would be appealing to the non-custodial parent. If the non-custodial parent doesn't agree you may need to alter your own plans. If you simply choose to not follow the visitation order you would be in contempt of a court order and the other parent could file a motion for contempt.

Your question is unclear. If the non-custodial parent cannot take the child on her/his scheduled weekend the child will remain with the custodial parent. This is one of the many 'inconveniences' of divorce with children. However, the children should never be aware that a parent thinks spending time with them is inconvenient.
I have custodial custody of my eight year old son who DOES NOT want to visit his father anymore due to his wife. This person is very mean and does and says things to him when his Dad is not around. He calls me several times during the weekend saying he wants to come home and why. Why do I have to make him visit those people if the wife is going to continue to be mean?
Pay what? In California, child support can be increase if he is not seeing the children on a regular basis.
No
If the parent has court-ordered visitation, yes. If there is a legitimate reason the child does not want to visit the parent, the custodial parent can petition the court to revise the visitation order. Be aware the court will not deny a parent the right to visitation without a very good reason, nor will they look kindly on a custodial parent who request it without a very good reason.
