In most cases you do. If you sister wants to see you that's great, and there should be no reason why your father wouldn't let you see her. If he doesn't want you near her because of the bitter separation between your parents, then you can go to court and they will probably grant you visitation rights only if this 7 year old wants to see you. Otherwise, you are going to have to wait until she is of legal age. Good luck Marcy
It's highly unlikely that custodial rights would even be considered. However, courts seldom refuse visitation rights unless there is evidence of abuse or neglect on the part of the requesting parent. If there is not a court order terminating parental rights due to abandonment or another such issue, the parent will likely be granted visitation. It is quite possible, the court would order supervised visitation for a specified length of time. A lot depends on the reason for non-contact with the child. Courts tend to leave things as they are and not make drastic changes in children's lives unless it is what they want and better for them in the long run. yes, you can get visitation and/or custody but again, it depends on what kept you away (drugs, jail, etc.).
Regardless of what state your child lives in, yes you are required to pay support, the case will become an interstate case. You will send the support payment to the state in which the child resides and the money will be disbursed accordingly.
Yes and no. Having a record or it does not mean it's still a problem. Since being fatherless is far more damaging, if there is a concern, set supervised visitation for a designated period of time with random drug tests. see link

It depends on the reasons for moving and the age of the child. How has custody of the child.

The interstate visitation rights act gives great information in the area of this question. http://www.law.upenn.edu/bll/archives/ulc/icv/chldvsit.htm
He has whatever rights the courts set forth, but he might have to pay for at least half the travel costs.
absolutely
See Link Below'Child Refusing To Visit Other Parent?'
The custodial parent is the parent in which the child resides with. My son lives with me and I am the custodial parent, his dad has visitation rights and pays child support.
The courts might give him visiting rights, but they can be restricted - supervised visitation, visitation in public places only, etc. The alternative is far worse see link below
In the state of the child's residency. see links
Yes, at least until the child reaches the age of majority (usually 18, sometimes older) in the state where they legally reside.
Sole even if he was still shacking up with you
If the father has legal visitation rights-no. You can file a petition with the court to change visitation to show cause. You petition him to go to court where you tell the judge why you do not want, what you do not want and the judge will decide.
Typically parents have equal rights to their children, but if the child lives in a different country, it's best to hire a lawyer that knows the laws in that country when it comes to things like custody, visitation, and child support
