"One common arrangement is joint legal custody, and one parent to have sole physical custody, while the other has visitation rights. North Carolina family courts decide child custody issues based on what it believes to be in the best interest of the child. "http://statelaws.findlaw.com/north-carolina-law/north-carolina-child-custody-laws.html
yes
If it was given to the child, then no.
When they become an adult. That would be 18 or when they get married.
Yes. The non custodial parent has every right to see his or her child. And there is a huge misconception that a child can decide which parent they prefer to live with or decide they don't want to visit the other parent when they reach a certain age. The fact is, it is NOT the child's decision to make, but the judge's.So unless the non custodial parent has been found unfit, abusive, etc., the child has to concede to the visitation rights.Furthermore, the custodial parent should encourage the child to want to visit with the other parent. Children need both parents, and no parent should ever be deprived of spending time with their child unless they are unfit, abusive, etc.
15 to 25 a day
in the state of North Carolina if the child is over sixteen years of age no they will not but if the quit school. the parent can be arrested.
For herself? No. For her child? Yes.
Child protective services does no decide if a parent is unfit. A judge will decide that. Child protective services can and will however, help the judge to decide by presenting any evidence they have found that may prove the parent unfit.
You will have to show significant change in order to change the custody agreement in North Carolina. Even if there are significant changes, it is up to the judge to decide the custody of a child.
The obligation should not end, but rather transferred to the now nun-custodial parent.
