If a father fom another state wants his son to visit him at what age must the mother let the son go? They were never married but father is paying child support because state of Florida went after him for it not the mother. Father has a history of violents.
My response:
What does the court order state concerning visitation ?
If there is no court order, absolutely do not let that child go across State lines. If you do, you may never see that child again. That's because without court orders, either parent may legally "keep" the child.
A court order for visitation will be the only thing that will protect your rights to the child, and will give you leverage with the courts and police authorities should something "go wrong" with the out of State visitation.
So, in short, unless you have court orders, do not allow any out-of-State visitation. Remember the milk carton pictures ?
