The biological parents should attempt to work together amicably for the best of their children.
When the non-custodial parent has visitation time, and they are re-married, chances are that the children may be spending time alone with the step-parent and it can be in the child's best interest for there to be open dialogue.

How can a child convince a parent to opt out of visitation?
Which parent...the custodial or non-custodial? If the custodial parent, that parent cannot make that decision. It must go before the court and a modification of visitation allowed or disallowed depending on the reasons given. Otherwise the custodial parent may be found in contempt of court which has very unpleasant consequences up to and including jail or changing custody to the non-custodial parent. If you are talking about the non-custodial parent, about all you can do is talk to them outlining your reasons why you do not wish to visit them, and even if they agree with you, again this is something that needs to be presented to the court to protect the custodial parent.
Do I have to provide diapers for the non-custodial parent?
No. If he bitches, let me know, I'll talk to him.
How can a child talk to an attorney about visitation with a parent?
The child would need to do so with the consent of, and with, her custodial parent. A child cannot consult with an attorney on their own.
Does the non custodial parent have to talk to the child everyday?
Not unless the separation agreement says so, and it would be an unusual inclusion.
Do you have to give up custody of your child if your child transfers school?
Well, this is actually a little complicated to answer since the question is a little to vague. So let me see if I can break this down: Let's talk about the long shot scenario: You are the custodial parent and you want your child to attend school in the same school district as the non-custodial parent; you are now going to have your child move in with the non-custodial parent so they can attend said school. So, the answer would be yes, you will have to give up primary custody of your child in order for them to live in the non-custodial parents home. This is what could happen: a. Adjust custody order to reflect joint custody; have visitation rights. Just understand that whoever has more "nights" with the child each year will be considered the custodial parent. As a non-custodial parent, you could be obligated to pay child support. b. Adjust custody order to reflect that non-custodial parent will have primary custody of your child. They will now be the custodial parent and you, as a non-custodial parent, may be obligated to provide child support. Easy scenario: You just want to move to a new school district, and as the custodial parent your child naturally moves with you. Then, no, you do not have to give up custody of your child. What you must do is provide the non-custodial parent with your change of address as well as a new home phone number if it changes.
What are the responsibilities of the custodial parent by law when the non-custodial parent is required to provide child support and health insurance?
I think it depends on the state. While most states' divorce laws are similar, they aren't completely the same. However, I do think that, in all states, the custodial parent has the responsibility to make sure the kids get to the non-custodial parent's house for visitation, provided that the NCP is a good parent that doesn't pose a threat to or abuse the children. Before withholding visitation, if something the NCP does (i.e. not strapping the child in the car right) worries the CP, then the CP should talk to their attorney to see what theor options are. Withholding visitation without legal backing can come back to bite the CP who does so in the butt.
Can a 16-year-old choose to live with his non custodial parent in Missouri?
Once you are 14 years of age you can choose if you want to live with your mother or your father. you have to talk to a judge about it so they can make it legal for you to move in with your other parent and make it so they have costody over you. ~Erica~ Minors are not allowed to choose with whom they wish to live, this includes parents, grandparents and other relatives. In cases of parental custodianship the court usually does not intervene when a minor moves from the custodial parent's home to the non custodial parent's home until (unless) the custodial parent files a request to have the minor returned to the primary residence. The matter can become very involved especially if there is a child support order in place pertaining to the non custodial parent. If this is the case said parent cannot cease paying child support without the risk of being in contempt of a court order and thereby incurring futher legal difficulties.
Do you have to let your kids talk to the other parent?
You haven't provided any detail so the following is also general information. Unless there is a court order preventing the children from visits with or communication with their non-custodial parent the children should have free access at least by telephone.
Can a non-custodial parent refuse to send a child home?
If there is an order of visitation it must be followed unless to do so would place the child in a position of endangerment. If the custodial parent believes the child would be in jeopardy the custodial parent should contact the court immediately to request a change in the visitation order. The custodial parent should never disobey a court order of visitation simply because the child does not wish to see the non custodial parent. To do so could be seen as contempt of court and serious consequences could arise. If there is no court order the custodial parent can decide whether or not visitation should be allowed and if allowed the terms under which it will occur.
Is it bad to ignore a guy that you like even when he tries to talk to you and you refuse to respond?
It's bad to ignore a guy that you like, even when he tries to talk to you. If you refuse to talk to him, he will stop trying to talk to you.
Am I legally responsible for child support if my child turned 21 and several child support checks were not cashed by the custodial parent?
As for the uncashed checks, you will need to talk to an attorney on that one. As for the age, check links below.
How can you prevent the non-custodial parent from collecting the child's social security survivor benefites if the custodial parent dies?
To be sure I understand your question, let's say, for example, you have custody of your child, and you want to know if you die can you keep your ex from receiving Social Security suvivor benefits. Do I understand it right? If so, then NO, you cannot prevent the child's other parent from receiving SS benefits. If you have custody, I assume the other parent is paying child support. If not, you need to taket him or her to court and sue for it. If s/he is paying child support, then that's good. If you are concerend that if you die the other parent would squander the money at the expense of your child (neglect, etc.) then you need to talk to an attorney to see what can be done. But this will be a tough one since it is customary for the surviving parent to receive SS benefits for the minor child if the custodial parent dies.
