You can get a judge to ... do something, I'm not sure exactly what the proper terminology is here ... to put visitation "on hold" if you can convince him or her that it would be in the best interest of the child to do so, pending the ultimate resolution of the case.
You can't just decide on your own to do it. Well, you can, but if you actually follow through on that decision, you're gambling that the judge will agree with your decision later, instead of finding you in contempt of court. In an actual legitimate emergency (the noncustodial parent has threatened to kill the child during the next visitation, for example) you'll probably want to go ahead and take that risk, but you should also contact the court requesting a stay (or whatever it's called, but they'll know what you mean) as soon as possible so they know you at least tried to get permission to ignore the visitation order before doing so.

Can a child at 11 years old have a say to not want to se his farther?
The child is always free to express their wishes, either in court or by writing a letter to the judge in charge of their custody/visitation. If the judge feels the child provides valid reasons why they no longer wish to visit their father, the visitation order may be modified. However, court ordered visitation must continue until that happens, if it happens. Otherwise, the mother could be found in contempt of court and fined or even jailed for their child's failure to obey court ordered visitation.

What rights are the child's in Florida to choose what parent they want to live with?
Until the child reaches the age of 18 (the age of majority in Florida), the court will decide which parent the child will live with if the parents cannot come to an agreement. However, the child is always free to make their wishes known to the judge, either in court when custody/visitation is being decided or request a modification to the original order by requesting a meeting with the judge, writing a letter to the judge expressing their wishes, or engaging an attorney or guardian ad litem to speak for them. The judge will take into consideration the wishes of the child, and generally, the older the child, the more weight is given to those wishes. Ultimately, however, the judge will rule depending on what he or she feels would be in the best interests of the child.
