First, the custody order must be modified if the child is not living with the custodial parent. The non-custodial parent does not have the legal authority to make legal decisions for the child. He cannot consent to medical treatment, dental treatment, surgery, cannot enroll the child in school or represent the child in a lawsuit. If the school is doing its job of protecting children it should require proof of custody when the child is registered. That is one of the ways children who have been kidnapped by the non-custodial parent are found.

∙ 11y agoNo, a child cannot make that decision until they reach the age of majority in their state of residence. What that is depends on what state you live in. In Georgia, it is 18.
However, if the child has compelling reasons why they do not wish to abide by the legal visitation order, they can write to the judge with jurisdiction over their case expressing their wishes including the reasons why they do not want to see their parent or engage an attorney or guardian ad litem to petition the court for a visitation modification based on the same. The judge is not legally obliged to defer to the child's wishes, however they will be considered and if the judge feels it is in the child's best interests to modify visitation, it may happen depending on the legitimacy of the circumstances.
