The parent responsible is the one with whom the child is staying with at the time the function occurs, unless, physically or schedule-wise, it's impossible for that parent to take the child to the function. (Parent has to work at that time, cannot drive or does not have their own vehicle). In that case, the other parent should step up to the plate, or make prior arrangements for another relative or friend to take the child. What matters here is what's best for the child, not either parent's resentment. If this issue can't be resolved privately between the parents, a family law attorney or professional mediator should be contacted.
That issue would be decided on a case by case basis. If the parents cannot agree then the issue needs to be decided by a judge.

Depends what the court order says. Try working it out in Conciliation Court. For more info see GRANTING CUSTODY
Depends on the distance. If long distance, the moving parent. See link.
No. Driving is equal amonst the parents. Non custodial picks up the child for the visit and the custodial parent picks the child up from the visit. This is standard
You need to review your court orders to determine your responsibilities.

Generally yes. If the custodial parent moves away from the non-custodial parent, the custodial parent is ordered to make up the extra travel costs the non-custodial parent must now pay. The principle gives freedom to move, but discourages long-distance moves. In particular it discourages moves that are designed to deny access to the non-custodial parent.
Yes.
In some states, if the custodial parent moves more than 65 miles "as the crow flies" from the original address at the time of the custody agreement and does not get written permission to do so from the non-custodial parent, the court can (and sometimes will) remove the child and place him/her with the non-custodial parent. At that time the non-custodial parent will be given full custody of the child and even if the first parent moves back, they probably will not regain custody again.
Generally, no.

That is usually decided by court order, but generally (and this is very generally), the parent who moves may be found to be responsible for providing transportation costs for the parent who must travel beyond a certain distance to maintain their court ordered visitation if the travel is determined to be a financial hardship on that parent. If the the non-traveling parent has no means of transportation, it may also be decided that it is the moving parent's responsibility to transport the child back to the parent left behind. The court may find, however, that the parents should meet halfway provided each has a means of transportation and no unusual financial burden is imposed on the parent who remains behind in doing so.
In most states an 18 year old is no longer a minor and can live where they wish.
Get a lawyer and have the matter taken before a judge. Even if the custodial parent refuses to respond to your attempts, she (or he) will have no choice in responding to a subpoena.

The parents are not responsible for an adult. If the parents co-signed the loan, they can be held responsible.
Just on vacation should be fine but he would need your permission if the court order can not be fulfilled or if he moves with the child.
My experience in court on who is the responsible party for transportation if a parent moves is that It is the judges decision to decide who is responsible for transportation if the non-custodial parent moves away. In my case, I was the custodial parent, thererfore the non-custodial parent was responsible for pick up and drop off curb side for visitation.I have also seen another case where the custodial parentwas responsible for transportation when the non-custodial parent moved out of state. Reason why this was is because she used the court system for un-nesessary reasons just to hurt the other party and it back fired. So really it hurt her in the end. She had to drive 1 hour to and 1 hour back every visitation out of state. Being a mother and working full time is hard enough.If you filed with your county, you are familiar with the procedures in filing for all issues dealing with family court. All problems are to be discussed along with a mediator to determine an agreement between both parties. After both parties have reached an agreement, they are to be heard and discussed in court and a " Consent Order " is signed by a judge in which both parties have to follow. Sometimes circumstances change, therefore the Consent Order can be revised. In my opinion, most cases should be settled out of court and handled like adults. In NJ, especially Camden County, the court system needs to be revised for all family court issues.
You pay the state where the original child support order was in place. Now if the custodial parent takes up legal residence in another state and opens a child support case there, the new state can help enforce and/or modify the original states order.
The parents are no longer responsible once the child reaches the age of 18 in Maryland, regardless of where they live.
That's something that needs to be determined in court before the fact. If it's hammered out in court, generally, the court prefers for parents to meet halfway. Other courts may determine it is up to the parent who is moving to pay those associated costs. Otherwise, it's up to the parent who allowed the other parent to move to arrange for visitation on his or her own dime if you don't get something on paper and filed/approved in court.
