In North Carolina, there is no specific age at which a child can unilaterally decide not to visit a parent. However, children's preferences may be considered by the court, especially as they grow older and can articulate their feelings more clearly, typically around age 12 or older. Ultimately, the decision rests with the court, which will prioritize the child's best interests. It's essential for parents to communicate openly with their children and seek legal advice if concerns arise.
because the parents of obese children are usually fat aswell and dont care about there child. i also think the child plays a vital role aswell becasue they can refuse food and eat what they want and when they want
Talking to parents can help greatly when figuring out why parents do not want their child in a relationship. It also helps the child express their need for one. Honesty and responsibility can help a lot.
Is that between a child's parents? if so it is ultimately up to the parents. But, most parents will let the child decide who they want to live with.
Yes
11 Depends on why...I think a child saying they don't want to visit grandparents/relatives could be a red flag...ask why they don't want to visit...
Tell them that they need to sign the papers and grow up and act like a parent and let someone care for the child because their not caring.
If you're in the US... You have no rights to have contact with the minor mother if her parents forbid it. You do have the right to petition the court for visitation with the child. Of course you also have the obligation of paying child support.
Child support? Yes, but custody is a separate issue and children deserve both parents.
If the child is under the age of 18, she should live where the parents say she should live. They can report her as a run away.
No, not if the child lives where the parents dont agree. However, the friend can file as a foster parent to say that the parents abandoned the child which would either cause the parents to loose custody and/or the minor to become emancipated.. In the longrun if the government ends up supporting the child, then Yes you will end up paying the government back for supporting your child.
No, a child cannot be forced to visit a parent. If a compromise cannot be reached to everyone's satisfaction; either parent can petition the court to order counseling for all parties involved to find a solution.
