You must retain an attorney immediately and get a restraining order if you suspect any kind of abuse that involves a child. The stepparent has NO right to be in the presence of children unless that is the stepparent's home, then the child should NOT be there under ANY circumstances.

Call the police and report it. * The custodial parent has the legal right to refuse visitation to the non custodial parent if it would place the child or children in jeopardy of harm or neglect. DO Not call the police. Contact the attorney who handled the custody case or if that is not possible contact the state's department of family and children's services for assistance.


In New Zealand can grandparents demand visitation or custody when there is no abuse or parental problems?

No. There are no such direct legal rights that benefit grandparents. The sole authority of a parent over their own child should always be paramount in the law. No other person can be allowed to break that right without just cause. Grandparents can report cases of abuse or neglect. They can attend the family group conference when allegations of abuse or neglect are being evaluated. They can petition for an order of guardianship if the case progresses to family court. They have no right to demand visitation rights or custody when there is no abuse or other problem present. See related link.


Can a parent who hasn't been in contact with a child in 10 years get custody or visitation?

It's highly unlikely that custodial rights would even be considered. However, courts seldom refuse visitation rights unless there is evidence of abuse or neglect on the part of the requesting parent. If there is not a court order terminating parental rights due to abandonment or another such issue, the parent will likely be granted visitation. It is quite possible, the court would order supervised visitation for a specified length of time. A lot depends on the reason for non-contact with the child. Courts tend to leave things as they are and not make drastic changes in children's lives unless it is what they want and better for them in the long run. yes, you can get visitation and/or custody but again, it depends on what kept you away (drugs, jail, etc.).

Can a noncustodial parents rights be revoked for failure to show up for court ordered supervised visitation mom has only seen them 5 times in 2yrs grandma is supervisor for visits?

What kind of rights? Visitation rights? Parental rights? That depends on state law where the child legally resides (or country if outside the USA). Laws vary widely on what may be considered neglect/abandonment and termination of parental rights based on the same. As far as visitation rights are concerned, those may be modified by court order if such a petition is filed and it can be proven the parent is negligent in fulfilling the terms of the court ordered visitation rights.


If the mother has full custody of the child and has dropped child support and the father has not been in the child's life for over half the child's life what right does he have to see her?

Child support and visitation rights are different issues. If there is no visitation order from the court the custodial parent can decide if visitation will be allowed and if it is, the terms, such as days, hours, etc. The non-custodial parent can file a petition with the court for visitation rights if an amicable solution cannot be agreed upon. Generally there must be a documented history of abuse or serious neglect before a judge will refuse a biological parent visitation rights. There are 2 different things. Legal custody and Physical custody. Regardless, child support and visitation are two completely different matters. He CAN ask the courts for visitation, it does not matter if he has been paying or not. If the father has no documented record of abuse with the child or any other violations then there's no right against him seeing the mother in which case he asks the court.
