What else can I help you with?
When there is no custody set up in the courts can one parent tell the other parent that they can no longer see the child until visitation is set up?
If married? No.
Can a parent legally prevent the other parent from having access to their child?
In most cases, a parent cannot legally prevent the other parent from having access to their child unless there is a court order in place that restricts or limits the other parent's access. It is important to follow the guidelines set forth in any custody or visitation agreements to ensure that both parents have the opportunity to maintain a relationship with their child.
Can a twelve year old choose not to obey visiting rights set by court?
In the US, no, they cannot. Until the child turns 18, if the non-custodial parent has court-ordered visitation, it must be followed. If there's a valid reason the child does not want to visit the non-custodial parent, then the custodial parent can go to court and request that the visitation order be modified. But be aware that the court will not do that without a very valid reason.
How old does a child need to be to decide she does not want to go with her dad in Texas?
The age of the child is irrelevant except in cases when a very young child must use public transportation such as airline travel. If an order of visitation is in place the custodial parent must follow those guidelines set out by the court order. Failure to do so without "just cause" can result in the custodial parent being cited for contempt. The best option is to discuss the issue with a non-partisan individual such as a counselor, minister, and so forth. In lieu of an amicable solution either parent may petition the court for a modification of the original visitation order. If there is NO court ordered visitation established the custodial parent has the option of deciding when, where or if visitation will be allowed.
If a father was not married the the mother but is on the birth certificate does he have the right to keep the child until court ordered visitation is set or will he get into trouble?
You have the right to return the child as agreed. This is not the time to prove yourself the better parent. Also, if the child is young, the mom is where it needs to be.
How long can a non custodial parent go without seeing a child before in considered abandonment in missouri?
Missouri's legal statutes do not specify a period of time when abandonment occurs, however most judges in that state concur that abandonment has occurred when the non-custodial parent has left the child and provided no means of support for the child for a period of six months. In those cases, the non-custodial parent may petition the court for termination of parental rights of the non-custodial parent. However, if the other parent contests the petition, then you are unlikely to prevail since the courts prefer that both parents are part of the child's life. The best course of action is probably to go through the normal process of filing a motion with the court to establish child support and visitation. Then you can receive support for your child and have scheduled visitation set up. If the parent has no interest in the child then he is unlikely to even use the visitation.
Can a custodial parent get more child support when their teenage children choose not to visit their non-custodial parent?
No, visitation and child support are 2 separate entities. The only way this would affect your support amount is if you are set up with 50-50 custody and the child stops going to the other parents house and you take them to court to get primary custody.
Would the noncustodial parent have to establish a set visitation agreement if he wants to see your child whenever able to and not have a certain time?
In some cases the parents may get along well enough to allow the flexibility you suggest. However, unless the custodial parent is fully agreeable to your plan, they have the right to have a set visitation schedule so that they know when the child must be available for visits. In most cases, it is better for everyone involved to have a set schedule so that plans can be made in advance for activities.In some cases the parents may get along well enough to allow the flexibility you suggest.

How old does a child have to be in Idaho to decide when they wont to visit other parent?
It is not up to the child to EVER decide if they want to go to visitation. Visitation is court ordered and the other parent has the RIGHT to see the child. As long as the visitation order is in effect, the child must go to the visitation. This is because parents plot and scheme and brainwash their children into believing that the other parent is the anti christ (custodial parents). Both parents should be encouraging a productive relationship between any child and their other natural parent. The child can decide to do whatever they want when the court ordered visitation expires or they reach the age of 18.
How much time do you legally have to spend with one parent if you mainly live with the other?
There is no universal answer or law that provides a set time. Visitation schedules are usually set by agreement between the parties or by a judge who takes into consideration the age of the child, parents' schedules, requests, state guidelines, etc.There is no universal answer or law that provides a set time.

What are the father's rights if he pays child support and has joint legal custody?
The mother has primary residential custody. However, the father has visitation rights which are likely set forth in a visitation schedule and he has the right to be included in any important decisions that affect the child. The father should review any documents related to his case including a separation agreement, visitation schedule, child support order and custody order.
What if a parent refuses the other parent visition?
The father may have a legal right to see his daughter. If she doesn't want to see him, in that case, it is a moot point. He can see her, and it's legally enforceable.However, if he cares enough for the daughter, he may be open to discussing the issue with you, or another adult or a professional of some sort. If there are good reasons why she should notsee her father, then you should be in touch with legal authorities or child protective services.If he is a good father, then the best thing for her legal guardian to do would be to encourage the daughter to be receptive and open-minded about visiting with him. Also, you might be able to give advice to the father about things that would make a visit more pleasurable.
