It's not so "only", he still has rights as a parent. If you make it impossible for the court order to work you are in violation of said order. Will you fly the child over every other weekend? This is something he will have to give his consent to and also the court. Any changes in the visitation order have to go through the court that issued the order.
When my father and mother divorced, my mother was awarded custody, and my father had visitation. His visitation was every other weekend, and every Wednesday for 2 hours. Plus holidays and things. My father did not get us every other weekend, and we did not ever see him on Wednesdays. If it is his choice not to pick up the kids, then the court cannot prove you negligent in any way. As long as you are not keeping the children from him, and telling him he cannot see them, you are fine. HE chooses not to see them. There is nothing you can do to force him to see them.

He doesn't have custody of his kids!! His ex-wife Paige does. Jeff has visitation every other weekend.
She needs to review the court order that established the visitations. The order should state the legal custody arrangement along with the visitation schedule. For example it could state, "The mother shall have sole legal custody and the father shall have the right to visitations with the child every other weekend and alternating holidays."
Jeff's ex-wife Paige has custody of their kids! Jeff has visitation every other weekend if he is in town.
An unmarried father cannot "choose" to not pay child support. The laws in every state require that a father pay for the support of his child. The mother must bring an action to the appropriate court so that a child support order can be established. Visitation rights are separate and a father can have visitation rights established by the court. Visitation rights are not dependent on paying child support.
No, absolutely not.

Visitation rights may also extend beyond parents. Every state has recognized grandparents' visitation rights in some form by amending visitation statutes. Several states limit visitation to cases where the parent is deceased, while others extend the right to cases of divorce, Annulment, or separation. Such laws have come under attack by parents, who argue that giving grandparents visitation rights infringes on their right to raise their children as they see fit. The U.S. Supreme Court, in Troxel v. Granville, 530 U.S. 57, 120 S.Ct. 2054, 147 L.Ed.2d 49 (2000), held that the state of Washington's grandparent visitation statute violated the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, as it interfered with the rights of parents to make decisions concerning the care, custody, and control of their children. The statute permitted "any person" at "any time" to petition a state family court for visitation rights whenever "visitation may serve the best interest of the child." Most states hold that the ongoing fami
Whether a son has to visit his dad every other weekend typically depends on the custody arrangement established by the court or agreed upon by the parents. If there is a legal custody order in place, it will outline the visitation schedule. Parents can also mutually agree to modify the arrangement, as long as it remains in the child's best interest. It's important to communicate openly and consider the child's needs and preferences in any visitation plan.
