That depends on the number of children involved.
Parents are responsible for the care of their children until age 18.
Their rights are not suspended, but the visitation needs to be modified
If you relinquish your rights you are not entitled to visitation.
In Illinois, if a court finds that the visits would be in the best interests of the child, then yes.
Yes, unless there are other arrangements mentioned in the visitation order. The non-custodial parent shouldn't expect the custodial parent to do the transporting. Taking your own parental responsibilities seriously is character building.
Generally the noncustodial parent may move anywhere - within or outside the state where the children live. The court grants the noncustodial parent the right to visit the children but does not force the noncustodial parent to take advantage of that right. However, a court may require the noncustodial parent to provide the custodial parent with contact information and, where issues develop about the care or safety of the children, the court may require supervised visitation or at least that the noncustodial parent advise the custodial parent where the children will be.
The courts generally want to maximize the potential for the children to develop lasting, lifelong relationships with both parents while also considering the physical, mental, emotional, or moral health of the children. Restricted visitation means that the noncustodial parent's access to the child is restricted in some way. The specific restrictions will be outlined in the court order. It usually involves visitation with the child(ren) in the presence of the custodial parent or a hired visitation supervisor who is responsible for ensuring the safety of those involved.
In general, yes. The payments are for the children, not the parent. The step-parent is not legally responsible for the children unless he adopts them.
If your husband's girlfriend is mature and responsible and your children like her then there is no reason the children can't be left with her. If you don't feel she is responsible to look after them or the children don't like her then have your husband return the children to you if he has to leave their residence.
Only if they are past the age of majority, which is when they are legally old enough to make that choice. see links below

Children who are at an age of understanding, and able to make informed decisions for themselves (to a point) can choose to reduce or stop visitation. If possible, the custodial parent can petition the court to modify the custody and visitation with the request of the teenager, and the Judge may want to ask the teen some questions regarding their choice.
The visitation order determines the time that the non custodial parent may have with the minor child/children.
There is no presumptive right of grandparent visitation in the United States. However, in several states, including Georgia, a grandparent can request visitation from the court. They can do this by either filing a petition for visitation or joining an existing custody/visitation case for the subject children. The court will not assume that it is in the child's best interest for the grandparents to have visitation with the children over the parent's objection-- rather, the grandparents must prove that this visitation is in the best interest of the children and further that it is harmful to them to be deprived of this visitation.
