You will need court permission to move the child or to exercise your visitation in an alternate location.
In the state of Louisiana supervised visitation is when the parent does not have custody of a child can visit them with court supervision. It works with the parent having the opportunity to visit but having someone from the Department of Child Services with them.
She needs to review the court order that established the visitations. The order should state the legal custody arrangement along with the visitation schedule. For example it could state, "The mother shall have sole legal custody and the father shall have the right to visitations with the child every other weekend and alternating holidays."
If you are not married and there is no custody or visitation order, she has custody automatically. The father have to prove paternity in court by a DNA test and then petition for custody or visitation. He can then also pay child support.
Yes. However, if the visitation is no longer practical, one of the parents may need to file for a modification of custody or visitation.
If the other parent have visitation rights you will need their consent as well as the courts.
The mother. The father have to prove paternity in court and petition for visitation or custody. He can then also pay child support.
Not if there is a visitation or custody order. She will need the other parent and the courts permission.
No. The parent who does not have custody have to apply for visitation in court.
Not if you have court ordered visitation rights or shared custody.
That depends on state law where you live (or country if outside the USA) and custody allocations, if not specifically outlined in your custody/visitation order.
In the state of Louisiana, it is possible for a parent, withut a lawyer, to file a motion for temporary custody while the other parent is in possession of the child and refusing visitation.
YOU cannot deny any custody or visitation. Only the court can make an enforceable decision regarding these matters. State laws vary. If physical abuse is the case, the custodial parent will need a record of the abuse and should call the police, take pictures to record the effects, and try to have dis-interested witnesses present at the time of any contact between the parents. If there is no abuse to the children, or no abuse in the presence of the children, it is unlikely to make any change in the court decision for joint custody. It may compel the court to make some order for supervised exchange of the children for visitation. Only the court can make any decision, especially regarding custody. If the non-custodial parent is abusive to the children it may be very good grounds for a sole custody arrangement. It may also encourage the court to provide for supervised visitation. Visitation is a different issue than custody. Visitation is the means for the non-custodial parent to have a relationship with the children and build that relationship. A court generally regards this as semi-sacred. A custodial parent should NOT deny visitation. If it is necessary to curtail visitation for the real safety of the children, the custodial parent should immediately file a request for a change of visitation. Otherwise, a court may frown on a parent who denies visitation. In some states, continual denial of visitation can be grounds for a change of custody.
