While verbal abuse certainly is not in the best interest of the child, you can't take it upon yourself to go against the orders of the court by refusing the other parent visitation. Doing so would place you in violation of the court, for which you could be charged with "contempt of court". This would certainly be of no help to you, or your child. You need to call your attorney to advise you on how to handle this. But, be prepared to give proof of the verbal abuse, since verbal abuse can be subjective to opinion by the court. Each time you learn of an incident of the verbal abuse, document the date, what was said to the child, and in what context. This will make your case much more credible, should you have to go back to court.

Can a 16 year old refuse to see parent for visitation in wisconsin?

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 is verbal hostility?

Verbal hostility, or in other words, verbal harassment or abuse is basically a negative defining statement told to or about you or withholding a response and pretending the abuse is not happening. Verbal abuse (or hostility) can lead to emotional abuse and hostility in the workplace. This can lead to hatred and noneffective dispositions in the workplace, and this is precisely the reason why workplaces work to eliminate such disturbances. However, verbal abuse is seen in many other places, not just in the workplace. In school, it takes the title of bullying and even at home parents can emotionally abuse their children or spouses.

Would it be best to not seek child support for fear of the narcissistic father seeking visitation for the infant child you strongly believe he molested?

Child support and visitation are separate issues. The non-payment of support would not prohibit a biological parent from being granted visitation rights. Any suspected abuse of a child should be reported to the state family and children's services (child protective services) to be investigated. If the investigation finds that abuse did occur or there is a possibility of it occurring, a judge can deny visitation or order court supervised visitation. Child support can be ordered by the court with or without visitation rights being granted to the non-custodial parent.
