If you live in the US, she gets to decide when she's 18. Until that age if the parent has court-ordered visitation it has to be followed. If there is a valid reason (and it must be a very valid reason) the child does not want to visit with the other parent, you need to petition the court to modify the visitation order.
It depends on the laws of the specific jurisdiction. In many cases, if the mother dies, custody would typically go to the father as the surviving parent with joint legal custody. However, the court may still need to officially grant custody to the father. It's essential to consult with a family law attorney to understand the specific laws and requirements in your area.
Joint legal custody typically gives both parents the right to access their child's medical records, unless otherwise specified in the custody agreement or by a court order. It is important for both parents to communicate and cooperate on matters related to the child's healthcare.
The age a child can make decisions in joint custody varies by state, but generally children are not legally able to make decisions until they reach the age of majority, which is typically 18. However, courts may consider a child's preferences as they get older, typically around age 12-14.
If joint custody papers were signed stating no child support and your ex has the child only on weekends, it may be difficult to receive child support. However, you can consult with a family law attorney to explore potential legal options based on your specific circumstances. They can provide guidance on how to proceed within the confines of the existing custody agreement.
It depends on the specific custody agreement in place and the laws in the relevant jurisdiction. In some cases, leaving one parent's home without permission could be considered running away if it violates the custody agreement or court orders. It's best to consult with a legal professional for guidance in this situation.
