I guess I am wondering, my child goes to her fathers for weekend visits which she is just getting used to doing this. They are enforcing the long holiday visits which she is not used to. She is 7 years old and her father has only had her over night 34 days total in the last 5 years and those days add up from September 2008 when he started to do over nights. MY point I guess is that she is not spending time with her father, every day he goes to work and she stays with her step mother, he leaves before my daughter wakes up and doesn't come home till between 6pm and 8 pm. I thought that his visits were supposed to be with him there spending time with her. Will a judge change the visits if its in my daughters best interest to be home with me if her father is not available for her.
He thinks that she is to bond with his wife, which I am fine with but where is the time with him. And why should I lose time with my duaghter for his wife.
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.
Leaves them permanently or in violation of court ordered custody/visitation time? In either circumstances, the non-custodial parent may file an action for contempt of court against the custodial parent and/or file for custody/visitation modification based on the same.
No. The non-custodial parent needs to have the visitation rights enforced by the court if necessary.
Neither parent; custodial or non custodial decides visitation. Visitation is determined through the courts, and a judge decides when visitation will occur.
The custodial parent is the parent in which the child resides with. My son lives with me and I am the custodial parent, his dad has visitation rights and pays child support.
If the court has awarded you visitation rights, then you have those rights legally and they cannot be denied by the custodial parent.

First thing..in Indiana...most courts view support and visitation as two separate issues. If the support is required through the courts the judge will ask what the visitation is at that time. However, if the non-custodial parent wants to get visitation without the custodial parents agreement, the non-custodial parent will have to file a request with the court and have a judge issue visitation. If there is no visitation order in place by a judge/court, the custodial parent has no legal requirement to permit visitation. I have dealt with this issue personally as well as my sibling, me being a custodial parent my sibling being a non-custodial parent. So I have seen what happens from both sides. Basically if it something isn't ordered by a judge/court, there is no legal requirement to do visitation or support.
