No, not without getting you in trouble for contempt of court if such visitation is court ordered. Penalties you may face include monetary, jail time, or even losing your joint custody status in favor of the other parent.
If the child has a valid and compelling reason why he doesn't want to visit his father, he needs to request a meeting with the judge or you can enlist the services of an attorney or guardian ad litem to make his wishes known to the judge. Some family courts also offer mediation services for this issue, so check it out. The court will take them into consideration and may make a modification to the visitation order based on the same, but no guarantees.
In the meantime, it would be in your best interests to do everything you can to make sure your child complies with visitation as outlined to prevent unpleasant consequences down the road.
