Children have the right to live where they are safe. If a child, or you, are abused you call the police or the Child Protection Agency. The court will give custody to a relative or if one can not be found, a foster home.
Answer and ClarificationNo. But as the custodial parent you are responsible for protecting your child. You need to return to the court that has jurisdiction immediately and request temporary orders to modify visitation until the court can investigate the situation and terminate the visitations.
Not unless she has been found unsuitable as a parent.
Not really the Judge will decide this matter for you.
There can be legitimate reasons for withholding a visitation. Those reasons must be explained by testimony in a court hearing if the non-custodial parent files a motion for contempt against the custodial parent. The custodial parent should be well prepared with dates and times and reasons for withholding the visit along with witnesses if possible and should be reporting the circumstances to their attorney.Possible reasons include:A court order to that effect.Suspicion that the child is being abused or neglected. This must be followed up as soon as possible with a temporary court order until the situation can be fully evaluated by the court.The non-custodial parent appears to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs when they arrive to pick the child up.The child is very sick.The non-custodial parent arrives at an unscheduled time.The non-custodial parent does not appear in person to take the child. If they send a substitute without the prior approval of the custodial parent the custodial parent could refuse to allow the pick up.

Yes. You have to have parental consent to be legally emancipated, unless you are being mentally/emotionally abused, physically abused, or their living arrangements are unstable.
I doubt it, since the main purpose of the form is to ensure that the non-custodial parent is aware of and approves of the trip. There wouldn't be a form if Canada didn't care about the non-custodial parent's wishes.
Being a ward of the State in itself means there is no custodial parent, and certainly none that supports the child, which is needed to take the deduction.
no
You must continue to pay child support as long as there is a court order to do so. However, if the child isn't being physically supported by the custodial parent and lives with another guardian, the court may alter the child support order to have payments sent to the new guardian. Contact your local department of Human Services and let them know that the child isn't living with the custodial parent.
No. The child is well within his/her rights to choose not to see the non-custodial parent. However, the non-custodial parent still contributed to that child being born, and is therefore required to help provide for him/her.
No. The non-custodial parent does not have the legal power to consent to the child being filmed.
Yes, if it is determined that you are being abused or neglected you can be taken away from an adoptive parent.
