Only the court can deny rights, the mother can not.
If you're the father, and the mother is attempting to deny you visitation rights, you need to get a lawyer and take it to court. If you're the mother, and you'd like to deny the father visitation rights, you need to get a lawyer and take it to court. Child support is an entirely separate issue. It has NOTHING to do with visitation or custody rights. You are obligated to abide by the court orders in both cases, but you don't get to stop paying support or deny visitation just because the other parent did the other one of those things.
Only the court has the power to deny visitation rights.
No. Child support, visitation, custody etc are all separate issues. The court will see to what is best for the child and one parent can not deny the parental rights of the other.
You do not have the right to deny visitations but if you do, the father can and should request a court hearing to establish his paternity and get visitation rights. He can request custody or joint custody and the court will render a decision. If the child is to remain with the mother the court will set up a child support order and the father can file contempt charges if the mother withholds visitation or violates the visitation order in any other way.
If the court has awarded you visitation rights, then you have those rights legally and they cannot be denied by the custodial parent.
Unless visitation rights for the non-custodial parent were allowed in the divorce paperwork, the custodial parent is completely within their rights to deny the non-custodial parent visitation....however, the non-custodial parent may sue for visitation rights.
Absolutely not. The mother must obey the visitation order or she is in contempt of a court order. If she desires a change, she would need to provide compelling evidence that visits with the father are harmful to the child and request a modified visitation order from the court. The court would review the situation and issue a ruling. Furthermore, courts generally do not view being gay as a valid reason to deny access.
If there are no court orders both parents have equal rights.
The mother cannot deny rights at all. Period. It is up to the courts on who gets what rights. But even the courts will not deny you rights based on if you have a girlfriend or not. However, if the girlfriend in question is around the child and can be said to have a harming effect on the child, then yes, it is possible to loose custody
No. The non-custodial parent needs to have the visitation rights enforced by the court if necessary.
In Missouri an unwed mother has all the rights to the child until paternity is established. However, she also has all the responsibility. That means that she cannot ask for child support either, until paternity is established. She can deny visitation, but she can't get support. Once the father establishes paternity he can asks for the same rights and responsibilities as a married parent. If mom won't help dad establish paternity, he can go to the child support agency and ask them to help him establish paternity.
If you are a good mother I wouldn't DENY the father anything. I think you should set time limits as in do not call after8:30pm on school nights and 10-11pm on the weekends. I don't think it is fair to the child to deny the father the right to speak to his daughter. It will only hurt her in the end.
