The child must be 18 in Arkansas before they can refuse court ordered visitation without getting the custodial parent in deep trouble. The non-custodial parent may file a motion of contempt against the custodial and if contempt is found, the custodial may be fined or jailed as a result. If the contempt becomes chronic, the courts may go so far as to modify custody and give it to the non-custodial.
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 visitation 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.

If parent is no paying support do the children have to go with him?
First thing..in Indiana...most courts view support and visitation as two separate issues. If the support is required through the courts the judge will ask what the visitation is at that time. However, if the non-custodial parent wants to get visitation without the custodial parents agreement, the non-custodial parent will have to file a request with the court and have a judge issue visitation. If there is no visitation order in place by a judge/court, the custodial parent has no legal requirement to permit visitation. I have dealt with this issue personally as well as my sibling, me being a custodial parent my sibling being a non-custodial parent. So I have seen what happens from both sides. Basically if it something isn't ordered by a judge/court, there is no legal requirement to do visitation or support.

How can a child convince a parent to opt out of visitation?
Which parent...the custodial or non-custodial? If the custodial parent, that parent cannot make that decision. It must go before the court and a modification of visitation allowed or disallowed depending on the reasons given. Otherwise the custodial parent may be found in contempt of court which has very unpleasant consequences up to and including jail or changing custody to the non-custodial parent. If you are talking about the non-custodial parent, about all you can do is talk to them outlining your reasons why you do not wish to visit them, and even if they agree with you, again this is something that needs to be presented to the court to protect the custodial parent.
