the answer is entirely situational.children are sensitive,tender and innocent.so they according to me cannot even understand verbal abuse(let me be very clear that when i say children i refer to those who r 12 or below) .so how can they ever think of such a thing? so i think they cannot judge this. instead there may be some children who would like to use this to their advantage since there r all kinds of people with their different minds. so its better to alert such things to those whom they trust in this world the most and then to take such decisions before they themselves turning in the court with all sorts of confusions and weird ideas.

Is verbal abuse a valid reason to stop my child for his court ordered visitation?

While verbal abuse certainly is not in the best interest of the child, you can't take it upon yourself to go against the orders of the court by refusing the other parent visitation. Doing so would place you in violation of the court, for which you could be charged with "contempt of court". This would certainly be of no help to you, or your child. You need to call your attorney to advise you on how to handle this. But, be prepared to give proof of the verbal abuse, since verbal abuse can be subjective to opinion by the court. Each time you learn of an incident of the verbal abuse, document the date, what was said to the child, and in what context. This will make your case much more credible, should you have to go back to court.


Cohabiting verbal abuser may you sue for damages?

Can a 16-year old legally move out without parents permission in Tennessee and live with another family member if there are signs of verbal domestic abuse?

Generally, unless the minor is in actual physical danger, minors can't move out without the permission of either their parents or legal guardians or a court. Can you petition a court for permission? Sure. Can you just do it on your own? Heck no, and if you try it and your parents feel like being nasty about it they could even get the other family member in trouble.

Is it illegal to verbally abuse a man?

No, it is not illegal to verbally abuse a man, but if the man was smart he would leave. Verbal abuse can leave just as many scars for a victim as physical abuse. There are programs for abused men that they should attend and learn tools in order to get out of the verbally abusive situation. Example: If a wife is verbally abusing her husband and he decides to divorce her and he can prove she is verbally abusing him then the court could press charges against her (highly unlikely) but you would be granted a divorce.
