18. Until that age, if there is a court order for visitation, it has to be followed. If there is a legitimate reason that the child does not want to visit, then the custodial parent can go back to court and request that the visitation order be modified. But, parents have the right to visit/maintain a relationship with their children, and courts will not deny them that right without a VERY compelling reason. So, unless the non-custodial parent is unfit/the child's in danger/the parent is causing harm to the child in some way/something to that effect, you probably won't be successful. And if the judge feels that the custodial parent is in any way supporting/encouraging parental alienation (I'm not saying that's the case, but if it is…), he/she will not be very happy with them.

∙ 14y agoI once was a child and in your situation. I went to the other parent that I didn't like. It was me and my 2 sisters. We fcked up my moms ride with nacho cheese and fcked her house up. She was happy for us not to visit her again. Try it!

∙ 15y agoI can't answer that, but I'm pretty sure if you call the attorney that represents the parent you want to live with, he'll explain it to you. If that parent is pro se (representing him or herself) then call the office of the judge or magistrate in charge of the divorce. If they don't answer you, go to a school counselor or a pastor. What I'm getting at here is that what you want is important, no matter what your age. If you can find an adult that will listen to you and help you deal with this it is more important than just getting an answer to the law question.

∙ 15y ago18 is the age at which the child gets to decide. Until then if the non-custodial parent has court-ordered visitation, it must be followed. If there's a valid reason the child does not want to visit the non-custodial parent, then the custodial parent can go to order and request that the court modify the visitation order. But be aware that the court will not do that without a very valid reason.
