Unless there is a restraining order of some kind in place, NO. That is the child/rens father like it or not. Best bet, go to court.
Yes. Only with the written permission of the primary custodial parent can the child be released to someone else.
Minors are not responsible for those decisions. The custodial parent is responsible and is the one who will be held accountable by the court. The children don't get to decide that they can disobey a custody agreement at any age.
They can only follow it, they possess no power to enforce.A Different PerspectiveA school can refuse to release a child to the non-custodial parent. It can refuse to discuss the child with that parent and can refuse entry onto school grounds.
You'd be a terrible parent if you did
Yes, custody days are meant to nourish the child/parent bond, not some legal agreement that must be kept. If the parent can not or will not pick up the child then there is nothing legally wrong with it. It becomes an inconvience to pack up the child and everything for nothing, but it is not illegal in any form.
Presumably, the custodial parent is the parent who has arranged for the child care and is the person who normally delivers the child and picks the child up after work. The child care worker can refuse to allow a parent to take a child if the custodial parent has provided a copy of a court order showing that the custodial parent has legal and physical custody. No unauthorized person should be allowed to take a child from day care.
Call the police and report it. * The custodial parent has the legal right to refuse visitation to the non custodial parent if it would place the child or children in jeopardy of harm or neglect. DO Not call the police. Contact the attorney who handled the custody case or if that is not possible contact the state's department of family and children's services for assistance.
A child can make that decision at the age of 18.
Only if there is a court order to that affect. If not, the non-custodial parent should visit the local family court and inquire about filing a proper complaint for shared custody.
You can but it would not be wise. The Custody Interrogatories Form in the state of N.J gives the judge a idea of how you plan on rasing the child if you were awarded custody.
First, it is an Urban Myth that fathers go for custody to avoid paying child support. First, who would support the children while in his custody? Less then 15% of mothers are ordered to pay, and depending on circumstances, the custodial father is often still ordered to pay child support.
Age 18 or at the time of emancipation. If the child is mature enough to make an adult decision, the child is mature enough for all adult responsibilities.see links
