The courts are REQUIRED by law to soley look after the interests of the child; not the parent(s). If the courts determine that it is in the best interests of the child to have access to you, they'll come down on the mother; if they decide it's in the best interests of the child to go to these activities then you'll lose. The child is the important one, not the warring parents.
No. There are no provisions in the laws of Georgia that provide step-parents with visitation rights. A step-parent has no legal standing. They would need to bring suit and take their chances with a judge.
No. Godparents are not recognized as having the legal status to petition the court for visitation rights to minor children. That being the case, visitation of minor children would only be possible if the custodial parents voluntarily allowed it.
You must prove that the health or welfare of the children would be harmed unless the visitation was granted and that granting the visitation would be in the best interest of the children.
During the divorce proceedings, the wife got custody of the children but the husband still has visitation rights on weekends.
Arrange visitation with whoever has custody of your children. Court should be the final resort not the first one.
There won't be a visitation order entered if the other party doesn't show up. However, the court will likely reschedule the hearing.

Get StartedWhen a divorce decree awards custody of minor children to one parent, visitation rights are generally given to the noncustodial parent. Some courts also recognize that grandparents have visitation rights. The divorce decree often provides specific details regarding child visitation.This document allows either parent to advise the other parent of the arrangements for a child's visit. In addition to specifying the time and location of pickup and return of the children, this program permits the user to identify special activities involved with the visit that the other parent should know.
Not without approval of the court. If there's clear evidence of this, a restraining order can be requested, but supervised visitation should be maintained. see my profile
