Can you stop your mother from seeing your children?
Yes, you as the parent decide who the kids see. You can even get a restraining order.
Can a non custodial parent that has been absent for 6 years have the right to sign school contracts even though they have joint custody?
As a parent with joint custody, the school will allow them to sign anything related to their own child. If they have been absent from the child's life, contact your lawyer to make the necessary changes to your custody order.
Do you have any rights over a child even if they don't have your last name?
If you are the biological parent, then yes.
What can you do about email harassment by the non-custodial parent?
You have to communicate about the child but how you do that communication is up to you. You do not have to meet in person or even pick the child up yourself. It is beneficial for the child to see the parents get along though and this should be your goal. It is not acceptable for a parent to miss important information because the parents can not communicate.
Can a parent be forced to visit his child?
Yes, just as they can be forced to go to school, the doctor, to bed, etc. One of the roles of being a good parent is teaching children what is in their best interest, even if they don't think so. See links below
Can a custodial parent ask for child support even though the child has the mom's last name?
Yes, the name is irrelevant.
Does the non custodial parent have to pay child support even though out of a job?
Yes. It is your responsiblity to pay for the child you created.
Can a parent homeschool their child even though the parent only has a GED?
Having not graduated from high school is not a demonstration of a lack of intelligence or learning.
Can a 16 year old child decide who they want to live with even if they are not family?
Only as long as their legal custodial parent or guardian agrees.
Can the non custodial parent take the child to the doctor to get shots even though the child has already had them?
Rather dangerous as it could result in a severe reaction.

The law in Texas has set the age of 14 at which a child can make a choice the court is required to abide by, and even than there are some limitations.
Does the non -custodial parent pay child support even though he is a retired veteran?
Absolutely - child support is based on ability to pay, not on employment or retirement.
what steps do i need to take to get custody of my son even though i am not the biological parent. what will i have to prove will i have to take a drug test do i have to have a job what rights do i have ?
If you are not the child's parent, you do not have priority in a custody dispute with a biological parent. If the custodial parent is unfit and this is proven by CPS, the child can be awarded to another family member. But since you are not related to the child and are not his parent, you don't have any rights.
Can the non-custodian parent alter a child's appearance?
Yes, they are a parent even though the child does not live with them. If you think you need a clause that says you need to discuss possible haircuts etc you should put that in the custody agreement.
Will your parents still love you even though you made a big mistake like signing on their behalf?
Yes. Cause they are your parent and you are their child.
Is it okay to have a relationship with a 21 year old if your 17 years old and already have a kid with someone else?
Yes but if you want a sexual relationship you have to have reached the age of consent in your state even though you already have a child. And as a minor your parent still decide who you are allowed to see.
What would most people do if it isn't their child?
I'm not sure if most people would do this, but just be supportive, and be there for your significant other even though it's not your child. Chances are, the real parent might not be the best person to look after the child, and you'd be better at being the parent anyways.
