If the court has awarded you visitation rights, then you have those rights legally and they cannot be denied by the custodial parent.
Not if the other parent has joint custody and/or visitation rights.
No. There are no provisions in the laws of Georgia that provide step-parents with visitation rights. A step-parent has no legal standing. They would need to bring suit and take their chances with a judge.
Yes, legally at the age of twelve a child can choose which parent he / or she wants to live with and visits with.
I think you mean if the visiting parent has a court ordered visitation. If the parent has court ordered visitation then yes the child is forced to be with the parent, that is what the court order is for. If the parent has no court order than legally the answer is "no" but i think if both parents agreed to a time for one of them to spend time with their child the child being a minor must do as the parents tell him or her to do.

Unless visitation rights for the non-custodial parent were allowed in the divorce paperwork, the custodial parent is completely within their rights to deny the non-custodial parent visitation....however, the non-custodial parent may sue for visitation rights.
It the non custodial parent alters the court ordered visitation, the other parent does not have to allow the visitation, unless it was altered in court. If it was not altered in court, the parent can file for contempt of court.
In Georgia, there is no specific age at which a child can choose not to see a parent. However, as children reach the age of 14, their preferences are given more weight in custody and visitation decisions. Ultimately, the court considers the child's best interests, and any changes to visitation arrangements would need to be approved by a judge.
A child can legally live alone by themselves at age 18 in Georgia. At age 14, a child can choose which parent they would rather live with.
Legally, no - but keep in mind that, in general, children are better off when they have regular contact with both parents.
No. The non-custodial parent needs to have the visitation rights enforced by the court if necessary.
