Why does a father of a 16 yr old have no rights of visitation in California?
It could be one of many different things. Why don't you ask him? Or...if you mean you're the father of a 16-year-old and have no visitation rights, then why don't you go to court and get them?
What does issue of visitation-reserved mean?
Visitation is reserved means that the court retains jurisdiction to consider awarding visitation upon your requesting it. Depending on the state you live in, you need to file a petition requesting visitation rights.
Can a father win custody if he is behind in child support?
it all depends on state that you live in, however, a father has a right to see his children despite his history of child support payments. the mother cannot legally refuse to allow the father to the child or children due to lack of support, unless there is a court order or restraining order that legally allows her to withold visitation. Paying child support and visitation rights have nothing to do with each other.Just because you dont/do pay child support doesnt mean you can/cannot visit your child
In Florida can an ex husband sue his ex wife for concealing his 7 year old child from him?
It is not clear from your question what you mean by conceal. Custody and visitation should have been addressed at the time of the divorce and he can file a complaint in the family court if she is violating any court orders. If she concealed the fact that he had a child then he should file a complaint to establish paternity as soon as possible. In either case, he should consult with an attorney who specializes in custody issues and is familiar with the court of jurisdiction.It is not clear from your question what you mean by conceal.

What chance do you have at getting sole custody of your son if his very violent father is incarcerated?
Sounds like the odds are pretty good at gaining sole custody. However that does not mean that you will be able to keep the child away from his father forever, or mean that the father will never get a chance to see or interact with his child. The court will probably allow the father "visitation" rights.
What happens if the father of the child is court ordered to pay child support and refuses?
A court order for child support is not a court order for visitation. These are 2 different issues and needs to be petitioned for separately. If there is a court order for visitation she can not say no without breaking it and can then be reported to the court and even lose custody if repeated. Child support is not a must for visitation. The court cares about the child having the right to both parents so if one can not pay at the moment does not mean they are not allowed to see each other. There is after all many mothers on welfare so technically they can not pay for their child either but they have custody. If there is no court order I suggest you go to court to get one.
What if the father is not paying child support and is a convicted felon with a criminal history does he still have visitation rights?
Visitation rights and child support are 2 separate issues in court. They see to what is best for the child and it often is to see both parents. It also depends on why he is not paying child support. If there is such order and he is not paying there are ways the court can see to that he does but you need to let them know he is not paying. You can not deny him visitation on your own, that would be breaking the court order and will get you into legal trouble. It's up to the court to decide if he is unfit for visitation based on his criminal past. Just because you've been to jail in the past does not mean you are a unfit parent now.
Can you force child visitation?
I think you mean if the visiting parent has a court ordered visitation. If the parent has court ordered visitation then yes the child is forced to be with the parent, that is what the court order is for. If the parent has no court order than legally the answer is "no" but i think if both parents agreed to a time for one of them to spend time with their child the child being a minor must do as the parents tell him or her to do.
You were never married never been to court and have shared custody of your child. Can the mother of your child move to another state without your permission?
Yes. An unmarried mother has sole custody of her child until the father establishes his paternity legally and then petitions for custodial rights. Once the father has established his parental rights legally, the mother cannot move to another state without his consent and/or the court's permission since the move would mean the father's visitation rights would be affected.Yes.

What does this mean the court orders that costs are taxed against defendant?
That means the defendant has to pay them out of his own pocket.
Can you father with domestic violence and drugs on his record get visitation rights and if so can he take them to the state he lives in which court would he have to go through his state or the mother?
Yes and no. Having a record or it does not mean it's still a problem. Since being fatherless is far more damaging, if there is a concern, set supervised visitation for a designated period of time with random drug tests. see link
Can the birth father be forced out then return for his child?
By "forced out" do you mean compelled to move or had rights stripped via a court order or the mother or her family's demand? If by court order, no. But if the mother or family is physically preventing visitation with the child, the non-custodial parent needs to go to court and file a custody petition outlining visitation rights and delineation of parenting time. The mother has the right to respond with any objections and/or modifications and ultimately, it will be left to the judge to outline rights regarding division of parenting time and visitation. Child support may also be mandated based on the same. Also, the non-custodial parent cannot just take the child unless they have rights to do so as outlined under a legal and binding custody/visitation order. If they have that and the other parent or legal guardian doesn't comply, they can be held in contempt of court and fined/jailed based on the same.
