If the parent with visitation rights has joint legal custody they have the right to participate in the decision to seek and schedule therapy for the child.

A parent with sole legal custody has the right to arrange therapy for the child without the consent of the non-custodial parent. The custodial parent should inform the NC parent of the therapy and involve them if the NC parent is willing to help especially when the NC parent is taking a positive parental interest and role in the child's life. However, the parent with sole legal custody has the sole right to make decisions that involve the child.

Divorce is often an adversarial situation and judges often do not award joint legal custody if the parents do not have a congenial relationship. That is to avoid a situation where one parent interferes with the needs of the child because they disagree with the custodial parent's decisions.

Does a parent have to be home during visitation?

If their parent is not present to take advantage of their court ordered visitations the custodial parent should return to court to change the order, especially if there is a concern for the child's safety. The child has the right to be in the care and custody of the non-custodial parent during visitations and should not be forced to spend their visits with others in the absence of their parent.

Will you receive more child support with sole custody as opposed to joint custody?

You may since sole custody implies the child lives with that parent 100% of the time. With joint custody the child may dwell with the other parent for part of the time or with one parent all of the time with visitations for the other parent. It depends on the details and the state child support guidelines.

Does a parent paying child support have to be notified if child moves out of state?

Yes most definitly. You have to be notified if the child is moved out of the county so for sure out of state. I would be contacting my lawyer if you are the one paying child support and if you are the one trying to move without telling the other parent. Shame on you. God will get you for being dishonest.


Is the parent who has filed for custody supposed to allow for visitation to the other parent?

The court will address visitation and child support when it considers the petition for custody. If there are no orders in place and the parents are married they both have parental rights including a right of visitation. If unmarried, the "other parent" need to have parental rights established which they will be during the aforementioned proceeding. Visitations should be allowed prior to the proceeding unless there is an issue of child endangerment that will be reviewed by the court. The court will not look favorably upon a parent who simply refuses to allow the other parent visitations with the child.
