This is an issue that's frequently brought up, along with the right to choose what parent they wish to live with.
This issue particularly arises as children enter their teen years. They don't want to be required to spend time with a parent, either parent. They think of themselves as almost adults, and thus can make their own decisions.
The main issue here is not their right in choosing to spend time with the other parent, but their right to ignore and dishonor the authority of the family court. One has to wonder how many males that ignore child support orders were raised to believe it okay to ignore any family court orders, which includes the visitation orders?
If a child, whether by choice or through the influence of a primary parent, doesn't wish to spend time with the other parent, this issue has to be first brought before the court for consideration. The child can explain to the judge, outside the presence of either parent, why they feel it's in their own best interest as to why they no longer have a need for the parental influence of the separated parent?

You have to be 18.
No.
Generally, not until the child is 18.
The one who would be responsible for the child during that time which would be the non custodial parent.
The legal age is 14. (:
at times yes but usually if the noncustodial parent does want to see the child they will be denied visitation rights and not be allowed to see the child
You have to be 18 unless the parents agree to it.
With a court order, any age. Without, 18.
