Parent with visitation only do they have any rights?

Can a parent with visitation only go to the childs school for the first time (child is in 4th grade) and sign some papers to be able to come and go as they please in the school,the parent told the child they did this and the child is upset and doesnt want the parent there,what should we do?Parent with visitation only do they have any rights?
Both parents have rights to the child unless it is court ordered otherwise. You, as parents need to be very careful how you handle situations as it will come back and hit you in the face. My step-daughter (now an adult) was caaught in the middle of a bitter divorce, Today she is bitter towards both parents and nobody can answer any of her questions,as both of her parents are deceased She said there was nothing but negativity towards her father and his family and she doesn't know why. She wants and need a relationship with them (don't forget, she is still thier blood) and she doesn't know how they will recieve her. Now that both parents are gone, she is depressed and hurt that her parents weren't adult enough to handle their own problems without using her as a pawn. Parents, please think of your kids and the consequences before you act or say anything negatively towards the other parent. Fortunately, I knew both families in this situation and I was able to talk to her and convince her that her dad's family weren't bad people. They want her in their lives and she want to be in their lives but she's afraid. Can you blame her?? This sounds very petty, resolve it and move onto other things. Don't deny the non-custodial parents all the joys as well as the rough times of being a parent. When you chose to become parents together, you became bonded for life, and if you truly love your child, than you'd better put your differences aside and think of your childParent with visitation only do they have any rights?
Are you sure the child is upset? Or is you that is upset?





I ask because I am a dad that has custody. I have the school informed she can attend but she is not allowed to check the kids out of school. Also, its at the schools discretion to allow her to attend any event.
Nobody, parent or otherwise, should be permitted to come and go at a school as they please. Everyone should have to check in through the school office with the possible exception of things like sporting events or open house. So, I suspect there is more to this than has been described. At any rate, if parents share legal custody then both parents have equal right to be involved in the school and school activities... regardless of the physical custody arrangement. If one parent has sole legal custody then that parent is the only one who has a say as to who can and can't take the child from the school, or to work with teachers, make decisions about classes, etc. I'm not sure if the other parent can be banned from the school in this case, though. Some of that may come down to school policy unless there is a protection order in place that bans the parent from being near the child.
The other parent is allowed to be a part of your child's life. If the child has a problem with it they can talk to someone at the school about it. Other than that there is no reason this parent can't volunteer at the school. As long as they aren't signing the kids in and out there shouldn't be a problem.
I know in Australia that unless you have parental responsibility orders that state otherwise, both parents have 50/50 rights in relation to the school and the child's education regardless of visitation/contact orders. I applied for sole parental responsibility (for legitimate reasons) last year, and it was granted, which means my ex can no longer have any say in anything at school, and only has a right to do anything if I authorise it.
If you are the custodial parent then when you signed your child into school you put a list of people who could sign in and out your child. Only those people can sign the child out of school. I would call the school and talk to them about this. He or she has the right to go to the school. But should not be able to do much more than that. Deffinately call the school and talk to the principal or the counselor.
both parents have rights to seeing their child. An noncustodial parent has the right to go to parent teacher conferences, get info on their child, volunteer in the child's classroom if the school allows that. Unless, a court says he can't. Being a custodial parent just means the child lives with you and you take care of most of the child's needs but the other parent is still a parent and has rights to be involved with the child. One should be happy the other parent is involved and not just walking away.
Depends. But why would they not be able to visit the child, the child is still theirs.


Parental Alienation is child abuse, please make sure you are not influencing your child negatively against their parent. It will haunt you one day, even if you think you are winning right now. My husbands ex did this successfully for some years, and then BANG out of the blue, the kids hated her for what she did, and now live with me and call me mom. Most kids that age (even their parent was a BAD PARENT) would LOVE to see them at school like that (they aren't old enough to draw those lines without adult influence at this age), so the kid being upset tends to point to parental alienation to me.


As long as the parent is behaving well in school, then the school will set boundaries as to how frequently and how long is appropriate-there is nothing for you to worry about. There are generally visitors rules. They won't allow a disruption.


Instead I would focus on your child, who is obviously having some problems if they don't want their parent around. Start by adjusting your attitude when you are around the child, then go on to seeing what you can do to improve their relationship. And I would consider counseling for your child.


Did you know that there are higher suicide rates among children who are influenced against one parent, especially the father?





ETA-And no, you being custodial does not mean you can dictate who can visit-because there are MANY kinds of custodial, and if he has any right at all (even the most miniscule ';joint legal custody'; with you being the sole physical custodian) you would have no right to stop the other parent.
OMG!!! that other parent is a parent and should be allowed to attend the childs events at school just like you do. This idea that just because you arent with the other parent that they have no rights is crazy. No parent is just allowed complete access to the school at any time and there are no papers to fill out that give such access.





Tell the school the other parent is not allowed to remove the child from the school. And tell the child the same thing.





And really are you sure the child is the one who is upset-- or have you upset the child with your reluctance to share the kid with the other parent.
