An 18 year old, still under the authority of the court as regards child support is still expected to respect the authority of the court in this matter, unless they wish to be released from being a child support dependent.

How does the law stand on a father showing his child court papers?
There is no law regarding a father showing his children court papers. However, if the intent is to alienate the child against the other parent it can affect custody and visitation rights if brought to the court's attention.There is no law regarding a father showing his children court papers.

What about hidden birth of a child and then told 14 years later where does the father stand?
You have to prove by DNA test that you are the father. Then you can go to court and petition for visitation and custody. Until you have established paternity you have nothing. You also have to petition the court to have your name on the birth certificate. If you are determined to be the father you will also be required to pay child support.
Who is guardian over child if mom is 18 and dad is 16?
If you are not married, which I assume considering your ages, it's always the mother unless the father has been granted custody by the court. If not married he should petition the court for visitation rights and shared custody or he does not have much to stand on if she says no.
Does a 12 year old child have to go to visitation with her parent?
If i were u i wouldn't have my child do anything he doesn't want to besides he is 12 yrs old i think he knows whether he wants to go or not if i wer you i would ask him how he feels about going to see his dad and if he didnt want to go then i wouldn't make him go.AnswerIf Dad has court ordered visitation rights, then the child has to go. If he does not, then you (the mother) can held in contempt of court. If there is a legitimate reason why the child does not want to go, then you need to petition the court to change the visitation order. AnswerMy 11 year old daughter definitely does not want to go on visits with father. We are just starting process. I will have full custody. Father is a sex addict, views nake pictures on computer and my daughter caught him. She is very uncomfortable with him. she catches him staring at her and has woke up with him in the room staring at her. He is leaving to be with a Dominatrix Queen and I don't want her to go on visits with that kind of stuff. My two boys cannot stand my husband. They are 19 and 20. They have a choice. Does my daughter? AnswerThat is an issue that you must address in the court procedure before any visitation rights are allowed, not after. You must present substantial evidence that the minor would be harmed emotionally in order to support the claim. It is very rare for a judge to disallow visitation to a biological parent; it is more likely if the evidence justifies the action that supervised visitation would be mandated. AnswerMy Step-don was not forced to come to visits with us if he didn't want to. We were told that that was up to him when he was 12. He can get his own lawyer throught the legal aid and tell them what he wants for visitation. But I don't believe that you can physically force the child to go. That is abuse. I know that much.
In Texas Does unwed mothers have sole custody if father is in jail?
It depends on whether the case has ever been adjudicated in family court. If paternity has never been established the mother has sole custody. If paternity was established and the father was granted joint custody or visitation rights then those orders stand until they have been modified by the court.It depends on whether the case has ever been adjudicated in family court.

What if a child has reached age 16 and doesnt want to visit with father due to the cicumstances he put their family in?
He is a minor and is not allowed to decide and you have to do everything you can to follow court order. Any changes in visitation, custody or child support must be made through the proper legal procedures in your state. And visitation is not just him going to see his father it can also be his father going to see him. And there is always someone blamed for a divorce but it is both parents job to make sure the child does not lose contact with them. People heal and move on and if your son have issues about what happened he needs to address this to his father in therapy for instance. Not doing anything and stand by and see him lose a parent is never right and can prevent them for having a good relationship in the future.
If my child's father and I signed a notarized agreement that he voluntarily gave up his rights and my husband now wants to adopt my child Will that agreement stand up in court?
No, it will not! Notarized form may support a contract, but will not be good in this case. The only insitution capable of issuing such on order and honoring it is the Court. Keep in mind, in most of the states, the court will iniate an investigation on why the father is giving up his rights.
Does there have to be an existing court order to do a Show Cause Order?
Yes - the actual name is, "show cause why the defendant should not be held in contempt."Another View:Not necessarily. Definition follows:"A show cause order is an order of the court, directing a party to a lawsuit to appear on a certain date to show cause why the judge should not issue a specific order or make a certain finding. It is also called an order to show cause or OSC.A show cause order is commonly used in a family law case. The hearing of the show cause order is customarilly not an "evidentiary" hearing. An "evidentiary" hearing is where each of the parties is sworn under oath and takes the witness stand to provide testimony (evidence) to prove the facts for the judge's ruling. But normally at the show cause order hearing the parties have provided their evidence in the form of a written declaration signed under penalty of perjury.In some cases, orders to show cause are filed by a party requesting a court ruling on: child custody, child visitation, child support, spousal support, attorney fees and costs, property restraint, and property control. These are mostly used to modify already-existing orders issued by the court."See below link:
A 15 year old cant stand living with dad can she chose to go back to your moms?
No. The parents decide where the child will live and if the mother wants her back she have to go back to court and ask for the custody order to be changed.
What happens if you move across state lines with your childrenwhile the father has only visitation rights?
In the past, the custodial parent could move wherever they wanted and the non-custodial parent had no say in the matter. Today however, many states have begun to move away from that line of thinking, recognizing that the disruption in visitation with the non-custodial parent could be detrimental to thechild . Because of this change in perception, some courts now require that the custodial parent give adequate notice before any kind of drastic move and must gain the approval of the non-custodial parent and/or the court before the move can take place. The custodial parent must have a good reason for the move, such as a new spouse that lives in the proposed location or a verifiable offer of better employment. The court will then have to weigh the expected benefits to the family with the potential disruption to the child. If the child has a close and involved relationship with the non-custodial parent, the court is less likely to disrupt this relationship. Likewise, if the move would make it difficult or impossible to continue visitation, the court may deny the request. On the other hand, if the non-custodial parent has not taken advantage of scheduled visitation or if the relationship is a strained one, the court may decide to allow the move. The court will also consider the advantages to the child, such as better education or facilities that could better accommodate the child's special needs or medical condition. If the move is allowed, the court will restructure visitation to maintain the relationship between the child and the non-custodial parent and may reduce child supportor impose travel expenses on the custodial parent. Distance Specified by Court Order Many states have a set distance that one party is allowed to move away from the other. For instance, in Wisconsin, the distance limit is 150 miles. However, parents who live close to a state border may have it stipulated in the court order that neither parent can move out of state without parental permission. If your ex has simply moved across state lines, she may be within her rights as long as it is within the distance specified in your court order. However, if it does not specifically state this, you must file a motion with the court to remedy the situation. Notification Some parents may try to move out of state with the child before notifying the other parent of the move in hopes that the move will be ordered to stand since it is already done and to avoid confusion and emotional trauma to the child. However, there is a specific protocol that must be adhered to for a move to be granted by the courts. In many states, if the other parent wishes to move out of state, he must notify you at least 60 days before the move. You then have between 20 and 30 days to contest the move. If that notice was not given, the court must be notified. Length of Removal In some cases, a parent may take the child out of state for an extended vacation or a visit with family. If you are not sure what your ex intends by such a move, you should contact her to try to determine her motives. Advanced notification is not necessary to take the child out of state for vacation or a visit with family unless it is specifically stated in your court order or unless the vacation will last more than 14 days. However, if it is found that this move is only temporary, you do not have the right to contest the out-of-state trip.
If one year after a one night stand the paternity test results come out what can the woman do to protect full custody of her child if the man lives out of state?
Where the involved parties live is usually not relevant when it pertains to custodial rights. The biological father has a legal right after paternity is established, to file a petition for equal or full custody (sometimes referred to as the managing conservator) and/or visitation privileges. This also means he will be subject to pay child support as ordered by the court in the state where the child resides.
What is Ga stand on parents who give up their rights?
Stand regarding what? If you voluntarily terminate your parental rights or they are involuntarily stripped by the court, you no longer have the right to see your child or have any say-so in their lives. However, your child support obligation continues unless the child is being adopted.
