If there is a court order for visitation, you can be in contempt for custodial interference and breaking the court order.
No, that would be criminal fraud.A parent has a right to have access to their children, unless it is proven that that parent is dangerous to the health and safety of the child.
Yes they can if they feel that such contact would present a danger to the child.
Not if you are suppose to give the child to the other parent.
No, it is not the child's fault, they still need the bonding effects of both parents. The other parent although not paying support is still subject to pay other bills until you can get them to court, which would also clear up the issue of keeping the child from the other.
In the US, yes. The child's property is owned by the parent.
It very much depends on the situation and if there are any outstanding court orders the parent is trying to avoid. There are cases of abuse where it is the only choice for the safety of parent and child. As a parent, you have to act as wisely as you can in favor of the child, especially if you are "just" mad at the other--always is better to keep the other parent in the child's life. Sometimes being reasonable and acting as if things are amicable is the shortest way to solving the aggravation.
yes you can butt that wouldn't be right to the other parent unless they are not paying child support or if they use drugs or they beat the kid
Just keep in mind What is in the best interest of the child and that they love each parent,
Yes, but the primary resident parent should keep a copy of the orders for the police to see so that they are not put into the position of determining whose telling the truth. This also applies to the non-residential parent. Keep a copy in case the other parent is trying to interfere with their time. This is a common practice, especially during Summer extended visitation, when a trip is planned and the other parents claims they are kidnapping the child.
Not applicable. It goes by the total amount of time the child spends with each parent. If the custodial parent does not have the child at least 51% of the time, they cannot claim the child. This is why the non-custodial parent needs to keep close track of the time in cases where the other parent has custody merely to get child support and the tax deduction, but has no real desire to care for the child. see link
1. person who has custody is responsible for the child's well being in every sense mentally, emotionally, physically, needs, wants and etc! Whether your the bio-parent or not! If these parents are a bad influence or dangerous then I would say YES! Keep them away! But if these parents are good and only want to know the child I would have supervised visits only! You as the primary caregiver (custody) must make the best decisions for your child in your care!
Generally, only under circumstances in which there is clear evidence that the child is in an unsafe environment, and has been reported as such. And in that case the parent must file for an emergency order with the court of jurisdiction. It will be followed up by a full hearing within a couple of weeks.
