Yes, a 17 year old will need a parent present at a court hearing. If the 17 year old has an attorney they may be able to be there in place of the parents.

Can the custodial parent keep the child from the non custodial parent if the child does not want to go?

No they can not. The key here is the "custodial parent" . You may be able to go to court. But if you keep the child and you are not the custodial parent and there is a court order saying the other parent is the custodial parent, all that person has to do is call the police, and the non custodial parent would have to give up the child.

What age can a minor child refuse to visit a non custodial parent in Ohio?

18. Until that age, the court order must be followed (and I'm assuming there is a court order for visitation). The child does not have the option of refusing. If there is a *legitimate* reason that the child does not want to have contact with the parent, then the custodial parents needs to go back to court and request that the court order be modified.

No. Tennessee does not have provisions in the state's marriage laws allowing the waiver of parental consent pertaining to a pregnant minor.

Is a 14 year old obligated to go to parents every other weekend in pa?

If the parent has court-ordered visitation, yes. If there is a legitimate reason the child does not want to visit the parent, the custodial parent can petition the court to revise the visitation order. Be aware the court will not deny a parent the right to visitation without a very good reason, nor will they look kindly on a custodial parent who request it without a very good reason.
