If you can't afford travel expenses for custodial visitation, consider discussing the situation with the other parent to explore potential solutions, such as splitting costs or arranging visitation in a more convenient location. You might also seek assistance from family or friends who can help with transportation. Additionally, look into local resources or nonprofits that may offer support for families dealing with custody arrangements. If necessary, consult a legal professional for advice on how to address this issue in court.
If the custodial parent is the one to move, than yes.
If there's a court order you are both responsible for the child being able to see both parents. You both moved and now you have to share the expenses. Neither of you could have moved without the other's consent so you must've known this would be a problem.

A non-custodial parent should provide either an itinerary, or contact information in case of an emergency regardless of visitation being court ordered or not.
Generally yes. If the custodial parent moves away from the non-custodial parent, the custodial parent is ordered to make up the extra travel costs the non-custodial parent must now pay. The principle gives freedom to move, but discourages long-distance moves. In particular it discourages moves that are designed to deny access to the non-custodial parent.
The age of the child is irrelevant except in cases when a very young child must use public transportation such as airline travel. If an order of visitation is in place the custodial parent must follow those guidelines set out by the court order. Failure to do so without "just cause" can result in the custodial parent being cited for contempt. The best option is to discuss the issue with a non-partisan individual such as a counselor, minister, and so forth. In lieu of an amicable solution either parent may petition the court for a modification of the original visitation order. If there is NO court ordered visitation established the custodial parent has the option of deciding when, where or if visitation will be allowed.
Travel expenses can be taxable or non-taxable depending on the purpose of the travel. Business travel expenses are typically tax-deductible, while personal travel expenses are not. It's important to keep detailed records and consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of your travel expenses.
Hopefully, you have cooperation of the custodial parent, but if you do not (and even if you do to protect your rights), you would need to travel to the court of jurisdiction (where the child legally resides) and file a motion for visitation. If you cannot do this, you can hire an attorney to do it for you. However, as the result of your motion, a hearing will be scheduled and you really do need to show up for that. You will be questioned and from that, the judge will determine whether it is in the best interests of the child to initiate and keep to a schedule of visitation. The custodial parent will be notified and has the right to either agree or file a motion of objection in response to your request as well and has a certain (usually short) period of time to do so, so your visitation may not begin for a few weeks or a few months if your motion is granted.
Yes, you can claim travel expenses on your taxes if they are related to business purposes, such as attending a conference or meeting with clients. However, personal travel expenses are generally not deductible.
It all depends on what the custodial agreement says. Read the agreement.
