Get Order To Appear In Court

In Texas, there is no age under 18 that allows for a child to refuse visitation. Visitation is the right of the parent, and it cannot be taken away by the custodial parent or child. The only option would be for the custodial parent to request a modification of orders.

The Texas Supreme Court defines contempt as “disobedience to or disrespect of a court by acting in opposition to its authority.”

You can deny visitation if you have sufficient reason to believe your child is in danger of facing any kind of abuse. For example, the risk of sexual abuse may come from your ex or their new partner.

The presumption in Texas is the Standard Possession Order. For parents who live within 100 miles of each other, the noncustodial parent has visitation: • First, third and fifth weekends of every month. Thursday evenings of each week.

Texas recognizes the fact that the parent paying child support now has another child to support, and the monthly child support amount should be lowered. However, this does not apply to any stepchildren who are now under your care.

A show cause hearing is held when a person who was granted deferred disposition or an interim judgment failed to comply with the Court's order. You will receive a notice to appear for a show cause hearing. This notice will go to the address that is on file with municipal court.

This section of the Family Code provides a way for a child who is at least twelve years old to express their wishes about which parent they will live with and other aspects of visitation.

Yes, it is possible to deny or restrict child visitation through the court. In fact, it is the best way rather than doing it without the court's permission.
