Does custodial parent have to provide phone service for child?
Absolutely not. Shelter, food and clothing basics are it. If the child wants phone service, he/she should go to work and earn the money. Or, if the non-custodial parent differs, and the custodial parent agrees, he can pay for it.
In Texas can the custodial parent be held liable for the child's cell phone bill provided by the noncustodial parent?
Whose name is the phone in?
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.
Does a child have to speak by phone with the non custodial parent when that parent upsets them to the point of nose bleeds?
There should be no restrictions on the child calling under any circumstances.
Can a parent be in contempt of court for not allowing a non custodial parent visitation because she wont give her new address?
Yes. If the non custodial parent is denied visitation as outlined in the court order than the custodial parent is in contempt. Perhaps you should also establish a neutral exchange site and request the each parent notify the other parent within 48hrs any change in address or phone number. The custodial parent should know where the child will be when she is with the non-custodial parent. If something should happen to the non-custodial parent the custodial parent should know where to get the child. Wanting to keep that type of information secret shows a problem of non-cooperation and a parent who is not thinking of the best interests of the child.
CAN custodial parent prohibit child from using cell phone purchased vy non-custodial parent?
Yes You have the authority to take away any gift to the child by the other parent, but consider how that would be viewed by the courts. I assume you want to limit the child talking to the other parent?
Should the child support money be given to the child?
The money is intended to help the custodial parent defray the costs of raising the child and providing a home so it is given to the parent. Child support can be used to help with rent, mortgage, college expenses, insurance, utilities, food, phone, internet, computers, medical care, clothing, education expenses, recreation expenses, after school program expenses, school supplies, haircuts, shoes, holiday gifts for the child, babysitters, spending money for the child, vacations, etc.
What does a non-custodial parent have to provide at their home?
There is no statutory list but the non-custodial parent should provide the following;Quality time with their child.Appropriate sleeping arrangements for the child.A clean and safe environment.Proper nourishment.The non-custodial parent should be present as much as possible during the visits and should arrange for proper childcare and adult supervision at those times when they aren't.A means of communication so the child can get help in an emergency. The child should know the address and phone number of the non-custodial parent's residence and should be able to call the custodial parent if necessary.There is no statutory list but the non-custodial parent should provide the following; Quality time with their child.Appropriate sleeping arrangements for the child.A clean and safe environment.Proper nourishment.The non-custodial parent should be present as much as possible during the visits and should arrange for proper childcare and adult supervision at those times when they aren't.A means of communication so the child can get help in an emergency.

Can a custodial parent prevent the noncustodial parent from talking to their children on the phone?
Maybe, if the absent parent does not share custody in any manner and there is not a visitation order in place, a custodial parent can take whatever action he or she chooses in regards to a minor child. However, courts do not look favorably upon any parent who does not allow the other parent to have a relationship with his or her minor child/children unless there is substantiated reasons (child abuse, endangerment, etc.) for the action. A parent who is being denied access to his or her child/children can file suit for visitation and/or custodial rights if they so choose.
What happens if the other parent does not bring the child back?
Initially, nothing. There is no law that says a non-custodial parent must visit the child although there are laws that do govern child support payments. However, if the custodial parent wants to change the court document regarding the non-custodial parent's lack of visitation, the custodial parent should maintain a diary that includes all phone calls, visitation dates missed, any follow-up contact pertaining to the missed visitation with dates and times of contact. The diary can also contain the child's anticipation of the visit and the reactions to the missed visitation. After clearly documenting these infractions, the custodial parent can present the 'evidence' to the courts for remedy. It may be that the non-custodial parent can be charged with a type of abandonment and therefore permanently lose all parental rights. An attorney can explain in greater detail as it pertains to the State in which you reside since each State has different views on non-custodial parental conduct.
How can you make sure support payments go to the child?
Child support payments are not intended to go to the child. They are intended to help maintain the quality of life for the child and custodial parent. That means they go toward rent, utilities such as heat, electricity and hot water, phone expenses, food, clothing, shoes, medical needs, school expenses, transportation, entertainment- if there is anything left, etc. The custodial parent has the right to spend the money in any way money is spent on necessities in an intact family. Once you make your payments you have no control over how the funds are spent.
Does the custodial parent have the right to know where the child is when the non custodial parent has the child?
As long as the NCP - and CP for that matter - abides by the court order, and provides phone access, then the other parent doesn't need the address of every place the child will be visiting. The permanent residence, however, needs to be known.
