A custodial parent is obligated to let the non-custodial visit the child if there is visitation schedule in place. If there is none, it is not illegal for the custodial parent to refuse visitation.

This is a hard situation to be in. The child legally have no choice but you want a good relationship with your child so forcing is not a good idea. I would suggest you go to him/her and have a day out. That is a good start. Move slow and never cancel, keep your promises. Maybe visit your parents with the kid. It is of course much easier if the other parents support you but that is not always the case. He/she has of course no right to stop you but encouraging the child to go out with mom/dad is helpful. And trust me because I've been in the kids situation, there's feelings of guilt there because we don't really have a choice whether we love our parents or not. Some times when parents are bad eggs it would be easier to just stop loving them but no. He/she don't mean to hurt you but they might be angry and have a hard time saying it because they are afraid of a confrontation. Anger is easier to deal with than disappointment or sadness from a parent.

As parental alienation on the part of the residential parent is usually the cause, this would depend on the courts.

If you are a custodial parent who has no geographical restrictions are you responsible to get your child to the non custodial parent for visitation if you move out of state?

No you are not. It is the noncustodial parent's responsibility to make arrangements to visit the child. All this should be included in your custody papers.


Does the noncustodial parent have to bring back the children to the custodial parents after a visit?

Yes, unless there are other arrangements mentioned in the visitation order. The non-custodial parent shouldn't expect the custodial parent to do the transporting. Taking your own parental responsibilities seriously is character building.


Does the custodial parent have the right to know where the child is when the non custodial parent has the child?

As long as the NCP - and CP for that matter - abides by the court order, and provides phone access, then the other parent doesn't need the address of every place the child will be visiting. The permanent residence, however, needs to be known.


Can a seven teen year old make it upon her own decision to visit a parent in another state if that parent does not have legal custody of that child?

It depends on whether or not the custodial parent solicited a court order which would prohibit out of state visitation. If there is no legal prohibition, the 17 year old is free to visit the noncustodial parent out of state.

Eighteen.


What age can a minor child refuse to visit a non custodial parent in Ohio?

18. Until that age, the court order must be followed (and I'm assuming there is a court order for visitation). The child does not have the option of refusing. If there is a *legitimate* reason that the child does not want to have contact with the parent, then the custodial parents needs to go back to court and request that the court order be modified.
