How do you begin legal process to have non custodial parent to have custody you are 8 days from being 16?
The other parent has to file, and you have an opinion, but not a choice. see links below
What if a Missouri parent refuses to return a 15 year old to Indiana at the end of summer visitation what can a next of friend for the 15 year old do legally to prevent further kidnapping charges?
There is no kidnapping. At the worse there may be contempt of court order. But as a friend of the 15 Y/O there is nothing you can do as you have no legal standing in a custody dispute. I recommend you talk to the custodial parent and have that parent begin proceedings. There are non profit organizations that specialize in visitation over stay violations.
If non custodial parent owes back child support and the child goes to live with the non custodial parent does the custodial parent at that point have to begin paying child support?
Yes, in most circumstances. However, you need to notify the court of the change in circumstances as soon as possible. The existing child support order and custody order will remain in effect until the court is notified. You should be aware that any child support arrears that accumulated prior to the modification of the existing court orders still need to be paid.
Can child support be reduced if the number of overnight visits of the kids are increased?
Depending on state laws, yes. But, frequently the custodial parent will begin blocking access to the children in order to get an increase. see link
How does a father who has never met his child begin visitation if they live in different states?
Hopefully, you have cooperation of the custodial parent, but if you do not (and even if you do to protect your rights), you would need to travel to the court of jurisdiction (where the child legally resides) and file a motion for visitation. If you cannot do this, you can hire an attorney to do it for you. However, as the result of your motion, a hearing will be scheduled and you really do need to show up for that. You will be questioned and from that, the judge will determine whether it is in the best interests of the child to initiate and keep to a schedule of visitation. The custodial parent will be notified and has the right to either agree or file a motion of objection in response to your request as well and has a certain (usually short) period of time to do so, so your visitation may not begin for a few weeks or a few months if your motion is granted.
Getting Child Support from an Absent Parent?
It is not uncommon for an absent parent to stop paying the child support that he or she has been ordered by the courts to pay. The reasons for non-payment vary, but the bottom line is that the parent is bound by law to continue paying the required amount each month.Your Legal RightsAs the custodial parent, you have the right to seek any child support payments that have not been paid on time. The custody payments are intended to make sure that the non-custodial parent contributes his or her fair share toward the child's welfare. It does not matter what the non-custodial parent's employment situation is or how difficult the payment may be for that parent, the law requires that the payments be made each month. If a parent stops paying child support on time, the custodial parent has the right to contact the authorities to enforce the payments.How a Lawyer Can HelpIt is easy to recommend that a custodial parent contact the authorities to begin the process of tracking down child support payments. Unfortunately, once the parent notifies the police, the legal issues can become complicated. Hiring a lawyer who has experience in child support situations will help you fight for your child support in an efficient manner that will lead to a faster renewal of support. Unless you are a legal expert, attempting to track down and force an absent parent to pay child support will take longer and be more difficult if you try to do it on your own.Consequences for the Non-Paying ParentAn attorney can help you understand the different avenues that you can pursue in order to receive child support. The absent parent could face fines, jail time, or probation if he or she does not begin making payments on time. In some cases, the state will garnish a parent's wages so that the child support payments are taken out of that person's paycheck directly. The funds could also be taken out of the non-paying parent's taxes or bank account. A non-paying parent could have his or her driver's license suspended or experience seizure of vehicles or homes that are not fully paid for. If necessary, the case can go to court.

Does the non-custodial parent have to pay child support while the child lives with him for 3 months of the year?
Well actually, it depends. A non-custodial parent can still have liberal, defined visitation and if that parent, say has 3 days a week or every weekend, and their income is vastly lower than the income of the custodial parent then there would be an avenue in many states where that 'non-custodial' parent would be entitled to child support. Again, it would vary on a number of factors including what you mean by non-custodial. If non-custodial includes no physical or legal custody and/or no visitation at all, the avenue seems virtually impossible. However, simply being non-custodial would not be the single defining point. In fact, there wouldn't be a single variable that would determine the answer to this question (particularly as state law were weighed in). Best advice, contact an attorney, many will provide free first consultations.

At what age can kids legally begin working in the United States?

Minor child wants to leave custodial home to live with non custodial parent?
AnswerFirst, check out the logic of the child's "want." Does it make sense to you and your ex for this to happen? Could the other parent be more appropriate for day-to-day raising of a teenager? For example, common wisdom is that if the child is a teenage boy, it might be for the best for him to go to Dad. However, if the child wants to move because of disagreement with household rules, both parents may want to come to an agreement that, come what may, the move will be permanent. Allowing a child to use the non-custodial parent as an escape to problems regarding rules, schooling and so on, may result in "flip-flopping" households whenever an issue comes up. And, these issues will come up regardless of where the child lives, because that is the territory with teenagers. Of course, if there were issues with the non-custodial parent to begin with, then those will need to be added to the equation. In my personal life, I had to leave teenagers in Texas when I moved to Arizona. It was their choice, but they knew there was room in Arizona. The household I left them to was not the best; however there was just 4 years left until college and it was, in many ways, a short term decision. I missed them, but they are now in their twenties, and are doing well.
