Can a 15-year-old decide if his father should have visitation rights if his mother has full custody in South Carolina?

No. The child doesn't get to decide until the age of 18. Until then, if there is court-ordered visitation, it must be followed. The child does not have the option of refusing. If there is a *legitimate* reason that the child does not want to visit the non-custodial parent, then the custodial parent needs to go back to court and request that the visitation order be modified.


Can you file for a paternity test if the father wants to be involved in the childs life if it turns out to be that the child is his. But the mother says she does not want the father around?

After the baby is born the father can go to court and request a paternity test. If the test confirms the father's paternity he can request custody and a visitation order and the court will establish a child support order. The mother cannot refuse to obey the court orders that establish the father's rights. If she does, she could eventually lose custody.

A 16 year old girl does not want any over night visitation with her father does she have to go? *** If they live in the US and Dad has court-ordered visitation, she has to go. If there is a legitimate reason that she doesn't want to go (he's abusive, a drug user, etc), then the custodial parent can go back to court and request that the visitation order be modified. However, without a legitimate reason, the court will not deny a parent the right to visit/maintain a relationship with their child.

Generally, if the parents are unmarried, the mother has sole custody until the father establishes his paternity legally. Until then she can refuse visitation.

He will also need to pay child support if the mother retains physical custody.A married mother cannot keep the child from the father without a court order to that effect.

Can you stop your child from seeing the other parent if you cant get and address from them?

Go to the court of jurisdiction and file an emergency injunction temporarily stopping visitation rights based on the same. It is your right to know exactly where your child will be staying during visitation and if the location is unsuitable, it is also your right to request visitation modification based on the same including termination of visitation or supervised visitation.
