If the environment that the minor is currently living in is unsuitable to the extent that the physical, mental and emotional well-being of the minor is being jeopardized. Such an assessment would be made by the state's department of child protective services or another state social service agency, not by the minor or other individual(s).

How can you tell if your daughters mother claimed her on her taxes if she lives with you?

Be mature and ask.... The IRS has pretty strict rules for determining who can claim a dependent, and for the most part it's the custodial parent (the one she lives with more than half the year) unless it's either specifically stated in the divorce decree and/or the custodial parent signs a form agreeing not to claim the child and allowing the noncustodial parent to do so. If neither of those are the case, and you know you can prove that you are, in fact, the custodial parent, you can go ahead and claim her. If the IRS computers kick out the forms because the same SSN showed up on both, you can prove your claim is valid, and she won't be able to.


Can a custodial parent prevent non custodial parent from traveling out of the country with a child?

Absolutely. A minor child cannot be taken legally from the U.S. without a valid passport. The custodial parent or guardian must, under oath, in person agree to allow the child to accompany the non custodial parent before a passport is issued. Likewise, depending upon the custodial order, the custodial parent may need the non custodial parent to present a sworn affidavit that he or she is allowing the minor to obtain a passport and travel outside of the U.S.

Unless there is a court order which prevents the non-custodial parent from having access to the child, then you should not deny the visitation unless you have absolute proof that allowing visitation is a danger to your child. It's best to speak to a lawyer and find out about modifying any current custodial order that may already be in place if necessary.

Can a parent be in contempt of court for not allowing a non custodial parent visitation because she wont give her new address?

Yes. If the non custodial parent is denied visitation as outlined in the court order than the custodial parent is in contempt. Perhaps you should also establish a neutral exchange site and request the each parent notify the other parent within 48hrs any change in address or phone number. The custodial parent should know where the child will be when she is with the non-custodial parent. If something should happen to the non-custodial parent the custodial parent should know where to get the child. Wanting to keep that type of information secret shows a problem of non-cooperation and a parent who is not thinking of the best interests of the child.

What are the responsibilities of the non-custodial parent?

The child has a right to see the parent if she wishes. The wishes of the child should be of paramount importance. Unless there are certain court orders in place (restraining order, protection from abuse order, divorce decree or Parental Rights and Responsibilities) or if the noncustodial parent has a criminal record for a sexual offense, the noncustodial parent does have rights. However the things they do should be with consideration for the child and custodial parent in mind.AnswerUnless they have been determined to be unfit the non-custodial parent has the right to request a visitation order from the court with jurisdiction over the case. Once the visitation order has been established the non-custodial parent has the right to enforce that visitation order, exactly as stated in the order, unless it is modified by the court. The non-custodial parent has the right to be informed about important aspects of the child's life such as medical conditions and treatments, school attendance and school functions, sports programs, etc.
