Best Answer

When both parents agree that the child may make the choice. Usually, this is around the teen years, when school activities and homework take more time. Both parents need to discuss this, with a mediator if necessary. It is important.

Answer

If the parent with visitation rights does not agree to a modification of the visitation schedule, a child cannot legally make that decision until they are at least eighteen years of age. If there is a visitation order issued by a court it must be obeyed or the non-custodial parent can return to court and file a motion for contempt against the custodial parent.

If the parents do not agree, the custodial parent must return to court and seek a modification of the visitation order. The court will review the petition and render a decision.
