How can you deny joint custody to an abusive parent?
YOU cannot deny any custody or visitation. Only the court can make an enforceable decision regarding these matters. State laws vary. If physical abuse is the case, the custodial parent will need a record of the abuse and should call the police, take pictures to record the effects, and try to have dis-interested witnesses present at the time of any contact between the parents. If there is no abuse to the children, or no abuse in the presence of the children, it is unlikely to make any change in the court decision for joint custody. It may compel the court to make some order for supervised exchange of the children for visitation. Only the court can make any decision, especially regarding custody. If the non-custodial parent is abusive to the children it may be very good grounds for a sole custody arrangement. It may also encourage the court to provide for supervised visitation. Visitation is a different issue than custody. Visitation is the means for the non-custodial parent to have a relationship with the children and build that relationship. A court generally regards this as semi-sacred. A custodial parent should NOT deny visitation. If it is necessary to curtail visitation for the real safety of the children, the custodial parent should immediately file a request for a change of visitation. Otherwise, a court may frown on a parent who denies visitation. In some states, continual denial of visitation can be grounds for a change of custody.
What is the procedure for visitation when there is not a custodial order?
When custodial rights and/or visitation has not been legally established, the decision belongs to the parent who has primary physical custody of the child. If the couple are not married, the mother retains the legal right to make all decisions regarding the child (except support) until a court decides otherwise.

Can you change a scheduled visitation weekend if you have sole legal and primary physical custody?
No, not arbitrarily. You would need to work it out with the non-custodial parent and get their consent to the change. A good solution might be to offer to substitute another visitation time that would be appealing to the non-custodial parent. If the non-custodial parent doesn't agree you may need to alter your own plans. If you simply choose to not follow the visitation order you would be in contempt of a court order and the other parent could file a motion for contempt.

What is restricted visits mean?
The courts generally want to maximize the potential for the children to develop lasting, lifelong relationships with both parents while also considering the physical, mental, emotional, or moral health of the children. Restricted visitation means that the noncustodial parent's access to the child is restricted in some way. The specific restrictions will be outlined in the court order. It usually involves visitation with the child(ren) in the presence of the custodial parent or a hired visitation supervisor who is responsible for ensuring the safety of those involved.
Does a non custodial parent have any rights regarding their child?
No. Ordinary citizens do not have the power or authority to revoke parental rights. That is the province of the court. You have to petition a court, present your evidence and let the judge decide.
