No, the custodial parent does not have to work to get their support. The support goes from the child's other biological parent.Ê
How old do you have to be to say you dont want to visit the other parent?
Unless your custodial parent goes back to court to have the visitation order changed, at which time the judge may allow you to voice your opinion, you will have to comply with it until you reach the age of adulthood in your state.
If the custodial parent is convicted of a crime and becomes incarcerated does the noncustodial parent automatically becomes the custodial parent - correct?
No, the child goes into the care of custodial parents relatives. A motion for emergency change of custody is required. see my profile.
When a custodial parent dies is child support from a non custodial parent still due?
Of course. Unless the non-custodial parent takes sole custody, the non-custodial parent is still responsible for paying child support to whomever the child goes to. There is no reason the death of a parent should terminate the other parent's child support obligation.

Can a father lose his visitation rights if he goes to jail for a year in Ca He always exercised his visitation up until the day he got taken in?
That depends on the nature of the crime and whether conditions of parole or probation have been met (and if not, if such conditions would prevent a hardship for visitation, either for the parent or the child). In general, courts would prefer to maintain visitation for a non-custodial parent if at all possible, however if they feel the parent would present a danger to their child after they are released, they may temporarily (or more rarely, permanently) strip visitation or order supervised visitation for a period of time. You need to speak with an attorney in your area, provide information about your case and the nature of your crime and get an informed opinion.
Can a step parent refuse visitation if in fear of well being in home?
I assume it's not the step parent that is granted visitation. This is something the step parent and spouse have to work out since it's the spouse who has asked for visitation and therefor it's her responsibility to make it work. If the step parent own the house he can choose who's in it and who is not and same goes for the spouse if she owns it. The step parent have no authority over the visitation order.

Your non-custodial parent lives far away sent a phone to you pays for your phone service and lets you text your friends. Your custodial parent does not let you text your friends. Is that wrong?
Sorry buddy but you have to obey the rules the parent you are with gives you. The one parent can not dictate what goes in the other parent's household.
How does the IRS know who is the custodial parent?
Not applicable. It goes by the total amount of time the child spends with each parent. If the custodial parent does not have the child at least 51% of the time, they cannot claim the child. This is why the non-custodial parent needs to keep close track of the time in cases where the other parent has custody merely to get child support and the tax deduction, but has no real desire to care for the child. see link
Can a fathers custody time be taken away if he doesnt pay support?
That depends on where you live. In some states, if the non-custodial parent refuses to hold up their end of the bargain in the custody agreement, which often includes provisions regarding child support, he may have visitation rights or other parental rights terminated if deemed so by the court of jurisdiction. In other states, child support and visitation are two separate issues that do not overlap. While the custodial parent can file an action against the person not paying child support, the fact that he isn't paying won't interfere with visitation, at least not until he goes to jail for failure to pay. You would have to contact an attorney in your state of residence for more information.
