What are therapeutic visits with a parent when it comes to child custody?
Myrab51
The full description is therapeutic supervised visitation. Such services are designed for cases where a parent cannot have unsupervised visitation with their child when there is a history of physical or sexual abuse regarding the child, domestic abuse, substance abuse or mental illness of the parent. A safe and supportive setting must be established where the child-parent relationship can continue while the particular issues are addressed by the court in concert with child protective services.

If one parent has full custody does that mean that the other parent gives up all rights and visitation to that child?
No. Courts are very concerned that children have the opportunity to spend time with both parents. Unless there are mitigating circumstances, such as proven previous abuse. Even in this scenario, the court could order supervised visitation.
If you have joint custody can your teenager live with either parent?
The guidelines are basically the same in every state but obviously there are a few minor differences. Joint custody consists of Primary Custody & Secondary Custody. The parent with primary custody is who the child lives with & the other parent has secondary custody. Depending on the age of the child & the state in which they reside, the court may let them determine where they choose to live. Or if both parents agree on the child's decision then the child can live with either parent.

Can one parent of the two sharing custody of a minor child legally keep the child from the other parent pending a DSS claim?
That would depend on why social services is investigating. If it is neglect, abuse or something of that nature suspected on the part of the other parent. Then you probably could justify not allowing that parent their visitation, or supervise it. However, the custody agreement is binding unless a petition to modify is made, and approved by the court. I would think if the child were in any way endangered or? DSS would already have taken action to prevent the parent from having unsupervised visits.
Can Child protection agency help with custody if other parents has a unfit home?
In general, child protection does not get involved in custody in any way. If a child is removed from an unfit home the noncustodial parent can often have the child placed with them, but are considered a foster parent in the legal sense. There is a federal law that states that the offending parent has 15 out of the next 22 consecutive months to rehabilitate and get custody back of their child. If this does not happen then the state is obligated to file a termination of parental rights against that individual. If the parent completes rehabilitation then the child is returned to their custody and the parents must determine custody through a separate court action. The short answer is that child protection is generally required to attempt to reunify the child with the parent that they were removed from.

You may since sole custody implies the child lives with that parent 100% of the time.

It depends on the details and the state child support guidelines.
When the non custodial parent moves x miles away from the child do they lose parental rights?
Not at all! The custody agreement should stipulate how far away each parent can move from the other. Even if the non-custodial parent moved far away, they may still get time with the child. The worst that would happen is the custodial parent would be awarded full custody and the non-custodial parent would get visits.
