That's something that needs to be determined in court before the fact. If it's hammered out in court, generally, the court prefers for parents to meet halfway. Other courts may determine it is up to the parent who is moving to pay those associated costs. Otherwise, it's up to the parent who allowed the other parent to move to arrange for visitation on his or her own dime if you don't get something on paper and filed/approved in court.

How will it affect child support payments if your husband's ex-wife gets sole custody?
Child support, is based on the needs of the child and the economic situation of the parents. Child support is primarily determined by what it takes to provide the child with a reasonable standard of living, based on what the two divorced parents have available. Sole custody indicates that the child will be living solely (with limited visitation) with a just one of the parents. Thus, that parent will be responsible for providing the vast majority of the food, clothes, etc. that the child will be using. The non-custodial parent now no longer will be providing those (if they had shared custody). So it is likely that the court will also modify the child support requirement - either reducing the amount the custodial parent had been paying the now non-custodial parent, or increasing the amount that the now non-custodial parent had been paying the now custodial parent.
Can a non-custodial parent sign school permission slips and authorization for medical treatment at a daycare and things of that nature?
Non custodial parent does not mean the parent has no custody. One parent has primary custodial and the other parent has secondary custodial. Unless you have sole custody of the child you should also have a shared parenting agreement. Neither parent should do anything without notifying the other party, except for emergencies. If there is no agreement in place, get one. Both parents should be involved in the parenting decision of the chid. Remember, you both brought this child into the world. It doesn't happen alone.
Is the non-custodial parent responsible for their child's behavior?
Whether you are responsible for school fees or not depends upon the laws of the jurisdiction in which you reside. I can give you some general guidelines, however it is important to check with a local attorney regarding the rules of your particular jurisdiction. Generally both parents are responsible for mandatory school fees. They are not responsible for school fees which are optional unless both parents agree to incur the cost. For example, if a child is attending public school and one parent decides they wish to enroll the child in private school with high tuition, generally the parent who does not consent to the private school will not be responsible for the fees since there is a public school alternative. However, if the children have always attended private school and the court determines that the parents can afford it, the court could order a non-custodial parent to pay part or all of the fees so that the children's schooling is not disrupted. Your best protection is to have a detailed parenting plan incorporated into your custody orders which defines and addresses payment of mandatory and optional school fees.
Can a mother refuse to disclose where the child is living?
Only if there is a court order to that affect. If not, the non-custodial parent should visit the local family court and inquire about filing a proper complaint for shared custody.
Can a non custodial parent sign child up for activities ie Girl Scouts?
The non custodial parent can sign the child up for activities that are to be done during vistations as long as the custodial parent is okay with it. If the custodial parent objects it comes down to what type of legal custody arrangement is in place. If legal custody (decision making ability) is shared then each parent has the right to decide on activities for the child during their time. If you have joint legal custody and the girl scouts meetings will occur during a time that your child is normally with you, you can sign them up and take them. If the other parent has sole legal custody and objects to girl scouts for some reason you can't sign them up even if they meet during your visitation time.Most organizations are not picky about who signs the child up for an activity as long as the activity gets paid for and no one objects to the child participating.
Arkansas laws on primary custodial parent does there have to be a custodial oarent?
Arkansas has no true shared custody, and therefore the judge always indicates which parent has prime custody. Even if the parents agree to shared custody, the non-prime parent is only given the right to the standard visitation unless the parties work out and submit in writing a more lenient visitation schedule. I k now this to be true, because my son and his ex got a divorce and asked for shared custody. The final decree gave his primary custody and her the every-two- weeks, etc., she would have gotten in any case. They shared because he wanted to. My granddaughter thought it would work for her, too, but her ex didn't stick to the plan once he got prime custody and she only sees her son when the papers allow her to.
CanI refuse a DNA test for my son?
Not if it is court ordered . The child's mother can have him tested without your consent , if she is the custodial parent or you have shared custody . Only the court can compel YOU to be tested. I have a feeling you need the advice of a spcialist in Familiy law. Good Luck.
Can the noncustodial parent file for full custody?
Yes of course. Unless the custodial parent is unfit the judge would not just change it though but there is also shared custody. It's up to the court to decide.
