A child can not opt out of visitation at any age until they have graduated from high school. It is the non-custodials parents right to see the children as long as they are current on child support.
For our daughter it was 18 years of age. or he or she can become emancipated at 16 years of age through family court.. which in terms deems the minor an adult. The person is no longer required to visit non custodial parent.
18 or later if the court order is still in force.
If the custody paperwork specifies visitation then disobeying is a crime.
The moment they move out of their own.

No. A child does not have the right to ignore court ordered visitation. A parent who assists the child would be in contempt of court.
age 18 see link below
When he or she reaches the legal age of majority which for the State of Nevada is 18, or by a court order.
When they are 18. The custodial parent can try to have the visitation order modified by going back to court though and if the child is in the older teens there is a chance the judge will listen to his opinion although he is not obligated to follow it.
18. Until then, if the parent has court-ordered visitation, it has to be followed. 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 goodreason.
When they are 18. The court order must be followed but the parents can have it modified when the child gets older. When in his older teen years the court would listen to what he wants but they might not follow it.
A child does not have the right to ignore a court ordered visitation schedule. A parent who assists the child would be in contempt of court. The parents can agree to modify the schedule as the situation requires. If the parents cannot agree, the visitation schedule stands unless modified by the court. A private bedroom is not a requirement for overnight visitation, nor is a home without extended family.
