Generally speaking, children do not have to be a specific age to choose which parent they want to live with. But the courts generally decide this on the basis of the child's best interest.
No they can not. The key here is the "custodial parent" . You may be able to go to court. But if you keep the child and you are not the custodial parent and there is a court order saying the other parent is the custodial parent, all that person has to do is call the police, and the non custodial parent would have to give up the child.
No. Neither parent should forbid the child to be in contact with the other parent unless there exists a court order to that effect. However, the parent who does not have the child at the time should not make a pest out of him/herself so as to intrude on the other parent's time with the child. Likewise, the child should not need to be in constant contact with the other parent. Adults should be able to handle this situation reasonably.No. Neither parent should forbid the child to be in contact with the other parent unless there exists a court order to that effect.

The child should try to contact the police or a responsible adult who may be able to help. A physical altercation will not solve any problems.
Unless the court determines that it would be contrary to the child's interests, the non-custodial parent should be able to see the child whether or not the NCP pays or is able to pay child support.
When a child under the age of 18 is traveling outside the U.S. with only one parent or a third party there must be notarized written permission from the absent parent(s) or legal guardian. Without this authorization the parent/adult would not be allowed to legally take the child out of the U.S. If the joint custodial parent feels there is the possibility of the child being taken w/o their consent, they need to contact the authorities. The objecting parent must be able to show proof of their custody rights, preferably custody documents issued by the court.
according to my lawyer a child can choose at 12 and in some cases at 10 but never told me what these cases may be...

Children should be able to visit a parent in prison as long as the parent did not do an offense against the child. It should also be up to the child if they want to see their parent in prison.
A paraplegic parent will be able to get custody of a child. Before it will be awarded, there must be proof that someone else will be there to help with the child.
The answer depends on the details. It depends on the reason for the guardianship. If the child was removed from the parent's custody and placed with a guardian the parent may or may not be able to regain custody. If the parent's parental rights were terminated they cannot get legal custody of the child back. If the parent consented to a temporary guardianship and the parent is now better able to care for the child the guardianship can be terminated and custody restored to the parent. It would not be necessary for the parent to adopt the child.
To me, I don't think that is fair. Once you reach a certain age (13) you should be able to choose who you want to live with, Mom or Dad. You do have a choice, and if you really want to, tell your parent.
An ideal parent is one who is able to place their child's needs before their own.
No. Not all people want to have children. Some people doubt their ability to parent a child. Others are not able to conceive naturally.
That person could not want to see the child or the other parent is not allowing it or the law/government disallows it.
That depends on the extent of the condition. Most are able to lead normal lives. see link don't see a link here.
Unless a person gifts or contracts to convey the property, a live in significant other is not entitled to any portion of the person's property. If there is a child born of the union, the custodial parent may be able to get an order for child support from the other parent. If the child support goes into default, the custodial parent may be able to attach to property.
No, they have to be financially able to support themselves and the child though.
