Can a custodial parent dictate how a child is cared for during visitation?

When there is a split-up between parents it's tough on the kids and all they know is mom and dad and nothing else. They are frightened, hurt, often blame themselves for the split-up and it's a lot of stress on a child's little shoulders. If your child doesn't want to see you, then you should never force him/her. Give them time. Twelve is a very awkward age and puberty has set in so emotions run high. This doesn't mean you child doesn't love you. Take is slow, keep in contact with your ex and see when and if the child is OK with having a visit with you. If you and your ex get along how about doing something together with you child. Have some fun together and see where it goes from there. NEVER question your child about what "mommy is doing or who she is dating" because this is super pressure for the child and they should never have to go through something like that. Good luck Marcy If the non-custodial parent has court order visitation, then the child and custodial parent has to comply with that. If they do not, then the custodial parent can be held in contempt of court. ANSWER NO, after 12 the child does not have to go with the parent. They are legally old enough to make that decision.

Teach the child to respect the authority of the court. Teenagers do not want to be required to do anything with a parent. It's the job of the parent to remind them that family comes first.

If parent is no paying support do the children have to go with him?
First thing..in Indiana...most courts view support and visitation as two separate issues. If the support is required through the courts the judge will ask what the visitation is at that time. However, if the non-custodial parent wants to get visitation without the custodial parents agreement, the non-custodial parent will have to file a request with the court and have a judge issue visitation. If there is no visitation order in place by a judge/court, the custodial parent has no legal requirement to permit visitation. I have dealt with this issue personally as well as my sibling, me being a custodial parent my sibling being a non-custodial parent. So I have seen what happens from both sides. Basically if it something isn't ordered by a judge/court, there is no legal requirement to do visitation or support.
