Can you force child visitation?
I think you mean if the visiting parent has a court ordered visitation. If the parent has court ordered visitation then yes the child is forced to be with the parent, that is what the court order is for. If the parent has no court order than legally the answer is "no" but i think if both parents agreed to a time for one of them to spend time with their child the child being a minor must do as the parents tell him or her to do.

Can you move in with your mother in California if she doesn't have any custody of you and tell the court that you want to move in with her because you don't get along with your step-parent?
A minor cannot leave the home of the custodial parent without that parent's permission. The noncustodial parent can petition the court for custody rights pertaining to the minor child. Depending on the child's age the court will take into consideration the opinion/feelings of the child before rendering a decision.

Does the custodial parent have the right to know where the child is when the non custodial parent has the child?

The non custodial parent and you were never married and he owe over 7000 in child support and it is not court ordered for visitation Do you have to tell him if you are leaving town or the state?
You are never required to notify the other parent directly, however if custody was ever addressed in court you may be required to notify the family court if you intend to move out of state with the child. This is to ensure that the court can protect the rights of the child and the non custodial parent. In your situation since no visitation was ever ordered you shouldn't have a problem taking the child out of state.

Who does a child tell she wishes to live with a different parent at age 12?
At age 12 it is not her choice and she is too young for the court to ask her. There is a small chance the judge might ask her anyway but he is in no way obligated to follow her wish.
If a child is afraid of their parent do they have to visit them?
no they dont tell someone why you are afraid of your parents and then they might understand......AnswerIn order for the visits to stop the visitation order must be modified by the court. The custodial parent must take charge of the situation immediately and do whatever is necessary to determine why the child is afraid to visit the non-custodial parent. It would be best to contact the attorney who represented that parent in the divorce for advice and a referral to the proper professionals. If the child's reasons are found to be serious then the parent must return to court to have the visitation modified but they must provide appropriate evidence for the court's review.If the child's fears are unfounded then the parents should seek counseling in order for the child to feel comfortable visiting the other parent.
Can a 15-year old decide which parent they want to live with in Georgia?
Your father (the non-custodial parent) would have to petition the court to have custody changed. At your age, you would be given to chance to tell the court who you would prefer to live with. The court makes the final decision, but they will take your wishes into consideration when making that decision.
