the state you are going to visit
Visitation is reserved means that the court retains jurisdiction to consider awarding visitation upon your requesting it. Depending on the state you live in, you need to file a petition requesting visitation rights.
Yes. However, if the visitation is no longer practical, one of the parents may need to file for a modification of custody or visitation.
In the state of Louisiana, it is possible for a parent, withut a lawyer, to file a motion for temporary custody while the other parent is in possession of the child and refusing visitation.
You file a motion to modify visitation to supervised.
A stepparent that has established a parent-child relationship can file for visitation eright, but it's up to the judge.
Depending on the state, yes, but you can file an injunction. see link
You must prove that the health or welfare of the children would be harmed unless the visitation was granted and that granting the visitation would be in the best interest of the children.
The interstate visitation rights act gives great information in the area of this question. http://www.law.upenn.edu/bll/archives/ulc/icv/chldvsit.htm
absolutely
If you are not married and there is no custody or visitation order, she has custody automatically. The father have to prove paternity in court by a DNA test and then petition for custody or visitation. He can then also pay child support.
see link below
In every state a parent is required to pay to support their child, and they cannot dodge that by saying they don't want to see the kid. I would file for custody and get it in writing that the other parent is not requesting visitation, then file for support.
