In Texas can a 16-year-old refuse vistation with the non-custodial parent?

A 16-year-old cannot leave home without his parents consent unless he has been emancipated. You would be picked up by the police and returned home. If someone takes you in when you runaway, then they could be facing charges for doing so. Texas does have laws against harboring a runaway. They could also face charges for contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and possibly other charges as well.

∙ 17y agoYes. If there is a court ordered set vistation schedule the non custodial parent can request the court to "force" the custodial parent and the minor child into adhering to the terms of the order. The custodial parent can contest the forced visitation for the minor child if there is a valid reason. Valid reasons would be, the child is being adversely affected emotionally, is being physically abused, is being placed in unsuitable or unsafe situations and so forth.

∙ 9y agoI have consulted an attorney in regards to this issue in Texas, and have been told that while the Courts no longer use the age of 12 as a guideline. The Courts have determined that if there is a visitation schedule in place the non-custodial parent has the right to visits. However, the attoney told me that for children who are 12 and older, if they refuse to go to a visit, or refuse to see the parent when they came to pick them up, the custodial Parent is not breaking any law as long as the child was made available for the visit. If the child refuses to go and is a teenager, the Courts are not going to force them, and the custodial parent is not in violation or contempt. He also advised that you get it on videotape and/or have witnesses to attest to the fact that you made the children available for the visit, but the child refused.

No, and no can he, so there must be a greater issue related here as to the safety of the children. As for being in arrears, in this economy that comes as no shock as men do not know there is free legal help to avoid or reduce arrears from the government. That is what I teach them.

Yes. In most states now children after age 14 participate in their own medical care, including the right to refuse that care. As a matter of fact, if a parent orders the doctor to treat the child and the child refuses, the child can sue both the parent and the doctor.

Assuming the visitation is court ordered, then no. If there is a legitimate reason the minor does not want to spend time with the parent (ie they're a drug abuse), then the custodial parent needs to petition the court for a modification of the visitation order.

What age can a minor child refuse to visit a non custodial parent in Ohio?
18. Until that age, the court order must be followed (and I'm assuming there is a court order for visitation). The child does not have the option of refusing. If there is a *legitimate* reason that the child does not want to have contact with the parent, then the custodial parents needs to go back to court and request that the court order be modified.

What are the responsibilities of a noncustodial parent to the child. is there any set guide line for what they are obligated to do to assist in support of the child?
These are set out in the child support order. One thing to remember, the custodial parent is also obligated to spend the same percentage of income on the child, but are not required to prove it, so most often refuse to do so. Best option is using a trust fund. see link below.
