At what age can a child refuse visitation?
If you're in the US, the age is 18. Until then, if the parent has court-ordered visitation, it has to be followed. If there is a legitimate reason the child does not want to visit the parent, the custodial parent can petition the court to revise the visitation order. Be aware the court will not deny a parent the right to visitation without a very good reason.
Can a father get his rights back to his child?
He can file an injunction, as he should. Then, he must take the necessary steps to establish his paternity legally in order to obtain his parental rights. Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Remember, a child's mother can always be identified by medical records. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he must establish his paternity by signing the birth certificate at the time of birth (waiving DNA testing rights) which must be done with mother's consent or he must seek another way to establish his paternity and that is done through a DNA. He can then establish his paternity legally through the court and once established the father can request visitations, custody and set up a schedule of regular child support payments for the child. On the other hand, if a court already has jurisdiction over the case, and if there is a visitation order already in effect, the mother must allow the child to visit with the father according to that schedule. Withholding visits with the non-custodial parent can eventually result in the custodial parent losing custody if the other parent presses the issue in court. She can move without approval as long as it doesn't impact visitations. She cannot move far enough away to interfere with established visitation without the father's consent and the court's approval. Unfortunately, courts are notoriously lax in enforcing visitation rights for fathers - so much so that most mothers do not realize they are supposed to get approval before making such a move and most fathers run out of money pursuing their visitation rights without getting their visitation rights enforced when a mother moves without prior approval.

What is the oldest age you can receive child support?
If you live in the US... The child never receives child support. Child support is due to the custodial parent. In most states it ends at 18 or graduation from high school, whichever occurs later. However, in some states, it can ordered beyond high school if the child is in college.
Does a father have to pay child support for a child that is 18 and still in high school?
The issue of there being no court order of support does not relieve a parent of their financial responsibility. In such a situation the parent paying the support could cease payment once the child reaches the state's age of majority, which in NY is 18. More importantly, the parent who is voluntarily paying support needs to be certain all monies tendered for the child is documented in the form of a cancelled check, money order made out to the custodial parent or some other form that can be validated...NOT CASH! The check or whatever should state specifically that the money is for the support of the minor child. If this is not done, there is nothing to prevent the custodial parent from filing a court order claiming that no support has been rendered. Such action would cause the non-custodial parent in serious legal problems, which would be expensive to say the least. A safer and more acceptable option for all parties involved would be to obtain a court order of a specified amount of support and time.
What are the steps to have absent parent parental rights terminated in MS?
In general, parental rights are terminated either preparatory to an adoption, or after a trial in which it is determined that the parent is unfit. In any case, termination of parental rights does not, in itself, terminate child support.
what steps do i need to take to get custody of my son even though i am not the biological parent. what will i have to prove will i have to take a drug test do i have to have a job what rights do i have ?
If you are not the child's parent, you do not have priority in a custody dispute with a biological parent. If the custodial parent is unfit and this is proven by CPS, the child can be awarded to another family member. But since you are not related to the child and are not his parent, you don't have any rights.

What do you do if the custodial parent alienates your child?
First, document everything. Write down all of the actions that the custodial parent takes to alienate your child from you. Take this documentation to an attorney and ask them to file an action seeking specific court orders prohibiting the wrongful actions of the custodial parent. If the actions are bad enough, the attorney may suggest that you file a motion to change custody to you. In addition to legal recourse, you can take certain steps to protect your child. Be certain not to blame or punish your child for acting out their anger toward you which was instigated by the other Parent. They don't understand why they have certain feelings. Parental Alienation is akin to brain washing a child. There are many other steps you can take to stop alienation, but we don't have the space here to go into detail.

Does non custodial parent have to try to work full time?
If the non custodial parent is responsible for paying child support and he or she only works part time but has the option of full time employment; it is likely the court will require that parent to provide an acceptable reason for doing such. In some such instances where the court believes a non custodial parent to be earning lesser pay than he or she is capable of a larger percentage of support will be allocated and/or other steps to procure the mandated support will be taken.
Can you get the custodial parent in trouble for child not attending school in the state of Oregon?
In Oregon, the school district generally holds the custodial parent responsible for ensuring that their child attends school. If a child is not attending school regularly, the school district may take steps to address truancy, such as involving the custodial parent in meetings and offering support services. However, it is unlikely that the custodial parent would face legal trouble solely for their child's non-attendance, unless there is evidence of intentional neglect or failure to comply with court orders.

Can a 13 yr old refuse visitation with non custodial parent in Oklahoma?
Court ordered visitations are not optional. If the order isn't followed the custodial parent could be found in contempt of a court order and sanctioned by the court.Court orders must be followed until they can be modified by returning to court and placing the issue before the judge. A custodial parent who doesn't honor the standing visitation order is in contempt of a court order and the court can order a modification of the custody order if the contempt continues. A child cannot refuse to visit the other parent until they reach eighteen years of age in virtually every state in the United States.When a child refuses to visit the other parent the primary custodial parent must first take steps to determine the cause of the refusal. A professional may be of help at this time. The child may have legitimate reasons and once identified both parents must work together to address the problem. The non-custodial parent may need some advice on how to spend quality time with the child so the child feels both welcome and comfortable in the non-custodial parent's new environment.This is a common mistake made by non-custodial parents. The child misses them and looks forward to spending time with them but that time comes and there is a stranger present. The child's comfort level plunges. Being forced to spend visitations with people other than the parent is not a good idea until the child has had a chance to adjust to the new family dynamics between the child and the parents. The dynamics of coping with the non-custodial's new partner should come much later.Uncomfortable sleeping arrangements can make a child reluctant to go for visits. If there are other children in the picture (belonging to the non-custodial parent's new partner) they should be allowed to develop a relationship gradually. A common problem arises for the child whose non-custodial parent makes no special notice of the child during visits and expects the child to spend their time with those other children as part of a new "family unit". In those situations the child has lost a special parent-child connection with the non-custodial parent. The opportunity of spending some private quality time with their parent should always be an option.If the child's concerns are serious and the non-custodial parent will not cooperate, the custodial parent may need to return to court for a modification of the visitation order. On the other hand, when the situation is evaluated by the court it may find that parent alienation is at the root of the difficulties and if serious, the custodial parent may well lose physical custody to the other parent if that continues. Alienating a child against the other parent causes irreparable and long lasting harm to both the child and the parent.
