What is the age that a child is no longer held to visitation rights as given by a judge?
Full Question:
My wife has a child from a previous marriage. The father's mother is using the father for visitation rights even though he doesn't pay child support or have any thing to do with my wife's child (doesn't call or come to visit). What is the age that a child is no longer held to visitation rights as given by a judge? Also the father lives in Georgia, but the child lives in NC. Which state's laws apply?

Answer:
The answer depends on whether there is a visitation order in place. If there is, it would be governed by the state where the visitation order was issued. Otherwise, the father may petition for visitation where the child lives and then it would be up to the judge there. Visitation is typically ordered until the child is an adult.
