If you're in the US, the child can decide at 18. Until then if the non-custodial parent has a visitation order that must be followed. If there is a legitimate reason why the child does not want to visit, then the custodial parent needs to go to court and request that the visitation order be changed.

∙ 12y ago18,That really depends on how much court time and animosity there is between parents. I mean, if the child is 11 and doesn't want to see one parent, be careful you could be blamed. See if the child's school offers some kind of counseling. that would be the way to go. a professional opinion is always best. but.. if you think something hinky is going on during visitation tell someone.. teacher, clergy, cop. better safe than sorry.

∙ 12y agoI think it should be 12. If the child doesn't want to see the non-costodial parent,then why should they? When the non-costodial parent signs the kids over, they can't just take it back and say that they want them back. They would have to start up a new court date and fight more for the kids. I mean, still why shouldn't the kids get to choose? They are old enough at the age of 12 to choose who they want to stay with. If the choose the on they are staying with presently, that's fine,it's their choice. But what is the correct age for the kids to choose not to see the non-costodial parent?

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 may since sole custody implies the child lives with that parent 100% of the time.

It depends on the details and the state child support guidelines.
