It's the court that grant visitation right and the custodial parent cannot go against the court order. Once the child is 18 they can decide for themselves.
18. Until then, if the parent has court-ordered visitation, it has to be followed. If there is a legitimate reason the child does not want to visit the parent, the custodial parent can petition the court to revise the visitation order. Be aware the court will not deny a parent the right to visitation without a very goodreason.
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.
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.
18. Until that age, the court order must be followed (and I'm assuming there is a court order for visitation). The child does not have the option of refusing. If there is a *legitimate* reason that the child does not want to have contact with the parent, then the custodial parents needs to go back to court and request that the court order be modified.
No. The child doesn't get to decide until the age of 18. Until then, if there is court-ordered visitation, it must be followed. The child does not have the option of refusing. If there is a *legitimate* reason that the child does not want to visit the non-custodial parent, then the custodial parent needs to go back to court and request that the visitation order be modified.
When they are 18. The custodial parent can try to have the visitation order modified by going back to court though and if the child is in the older teens there is a chance the judge will listen to his opinion although he is not obligated to follow it.
It depends on the age of the child what kind of room would be appropriate for the child to sleep..play and be near the parent ( custodial or non-custodial) to monitor. If you don't have a adequate area for a child..why are you a parent.
