What else can I help you with?
Is it legal for a mother to remove her child from her home if the child is 16 and has no where else to live?
Probably not, but she may turn the child over to child services if the child is unmanageable. Most parents would choose to keep their children close and at home. However, that does not mean that the parent has to go above and beyond when the child is abusive, involved in illegal activities--generally when being in the home is doing no one any good. It stands to reason that both parties have to take the responsibility to make home life work--most teenagers know what they have to do. I do not feel that the child is automatically entitled to be provided for if they cannot cope or manage the system. Even kids who must leave for safety need to do so on their own.
Can a parent put a 14 year old out of the house?
Yes, the parents get to determine where a minor lives. And if they are unable to control them they can request social services to help. The parents still have to provide for the child, but they don't have to keep them in luxury. However, if parents simply throw a child out of their house without making other arrangements for somewhere the child can go, and someone else to take care of that child, that would constitute the crime of child abandonment.
Is it against the law to keep the non custodial parent away from the child because custodial parent wants more money and a new girlfriend?
It's illegal to go against the court order for custody or visitation so if that is what the parents is doing they can actually lose custody if not stopping. If they want more child support they have to petition the court and ask for a modification. It might work or might not. None of the parents can demand who the other one is seeing or not seeing or who they introduce the child to when she is with them unless that person is unfit to be around children.
If a child runs away in Texas is the parent still legally and financially responsible for them?
yes, but..This is a fairly complicated answer, so let me first say that the answer depends on many factors that I couldn't possibly cover in the time I'm willing to spend answering these (I.e. What the event was, where it was, what the parent did to prevent it, etc). EXAMPLEIf your minor child is doing a normal act, during a normal day, at a time he should be doing it, with adequate supervision - and accidentally damages your neighbors car, the parent would actually not be held liable.You have to understand that if the parent does everything socially expected and correct for the child to prevent such damages from occurring, the parent isn't financially liable. At this point, the child would become liable.So the question would be, what are you doing to prevent your child from causing damages to other people, or her/himself? As the parent you are normally held liable for the child's action's, in societies eye. You most likely will never be held criminally responcible for what your child does, but in civil law (financial law) it's possible.No, the parents are not responsible as long as they file an absentee minor report with authorities.The mere fact that a minor leaves home against parental permission does not mean the parents have not done whatever possible to control the youth.Since parents cannot physically restrain a child unless the child is trying to harm themselves or someone else, it is ludicrous to believe that a parent could keep a minor from simply "walking out the door."If the parents file a report with the appropriate agency they are not going to be held liable for any actions of the minor child while said minor is not in their custody.

What rights does the non custodial parent with joint custody have if refusing to give child back?
Generally, only under circumstances in which there is clear evidence that the child is in an unsafe environment, and has been reported as such. And in that case the parent must file for an emergency order with the court of jurisdiction. It will be followed up by a full hearing within a couple of weeks.
Does abandonment end child support?
No. The parent is still the parent and responsible for the child abandoned or not. The child support payments will just keep adding up until the person is found.
Is it legal to fake a child's death to keep them from their other parent?
No, that would be criminal fraud.A parent has a right to have access to their children, unless it is proven that that parent is dangerous to the health and safety of the child.
Can a mother keep child from the father aside from his visitation days because of the live in girlfriend?
No she can not. In order to keep the child from the parent when there is a court order she have to prove the girlfriend is unfit to be around the child. Many fall into this trap thinking this is OK because their ex have a new partner they do not agree with but the one parent can not dictate who the other parent let the child meet when it's his days. It also works the same way around. Meeting new people is a part of moving on in life. If she does not hand the child over she is in violation of the court order and risk losing custody all together.
Does a parent have to keep an annoying child especially if he or she bothers others around them?
Nobody can make you keep a child if you really don't want them. But I have to ask why this child should be given up. Has the parent tried finding out why the child is acting inappropriately, or is the parent not an appropriate parent? Perhaps some counseling could resolve these problems before the option of giving the child up is considered. Giving up a child can have long lasting negative effects on them.
