Yes, up and until the time visitation is modified based on the same by court order. The non-custodial parent must file a petition for modification in the court with jurisdiction, wait for a hearing, present their evidence and abide by the judge's ruling. If you otherwise ignore or fail to abide by a court order, you may be found in contempt of court and fined/jailed based on the same. However if the child is physically abusing you, you do have the right to call law enforcement and have the child removed from your home and remanded to a juvenile facility or returned home based on the same (the police will decide which would be appropriate). If you have police reports or other acceptable evidence to back up your claims of abuse, that would be favorable in terms of the judge modifying the visitation order.

Answer:No. Even when ordered, visitation does not have to be taken. It is the non custodial's choice to exercise the right to visitation but he/she does not have to legally. Child support is what needs to be done legally. You can not be thrown in jail for not visiting your child. Repeating this though can lead to you loosing the visitation right.

Does a child at age 12 have to visit a parent with visitation rights in Michigan?

If there is a court order for visitation it has to be followed until the child turns 18. If there is a legitimate reason the child does not want to visit (ie the parent is a drug user, is abusive, etc), then the custodial parent needs to go back to court and request that the visitation order be modified.


If I paying child support and having regular visitation with my child do I have to continue visitation if my child is abusive to me and others?

One thing I do know is that visitation and support are two separate issues. Whether or not you utilize your visitation rights, does not mean whether or not you pay child support. So in my opinion, no, you don't have to visit...but you still must pay support...and on another note...do you think that maybe your influence might help your child with whatever is making him/her abusive? And maybe your lack of influence might hurt him/her? I am very pro-involvement as far as parents go. Please try to solve the problem by means other than abandonment.

Can an abusive father get custody or visitation of the child?

No, court ordered visitation can only be revoked by the judge issuing the order (sometimes by an appeal to a higher court). The mother should insist her legal representative petition for a court order to enforce her visitation rights.


Does a child at age 13 have to visit a parent with visitation rights in North Carolina?

Yes. The non custodial parent has every right to see his or her child. And there is a huge misconception that a child can decide which parent they prefer to live with or decide they don't want to visit the other parent when they reach a certain age. The fact is, it is NOT the child's decision to make, but the judge's.So unless the non custodial parent has been found unfit, abusive, etc., the child has to concede to the visitation rights.Furthermore, the custodial parent should encourage the child to want to visit with the other parent. Children need both parents, and no parent should ever be deprived of spending time with their child unless they are unfit, abusive, etc.
