No. The child doesn't get to decide until the age of 18. Until then, if there is court-ordered visitation, it must be followed. The child does not have the option of refusing. If there is a *legitimate* reason that the child does not want to visit the non-custodial parent, then the custodial parent needs to go back to court and request that the visitation order be modified.
