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.AnswerIf 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.

Yes they can
This is for the courts to decide based on the facts of the particular case. Unless there is evidence to convince the court that visitations would be harmful or not in the best interest of the children, the court may approve a visitation schedule in the form of a court order.
It's highly unlikely that custodial rights would even be considered. However, courts seldom refuse visitation rights unless there is evidence of abuse or neglect on the part of the requesting parent. If there is not a court order terminating parental rights due to abandonment or another such issue, the parent will likely be granted visitation. It is quite possible, the court would order supervised visitation for a specified length of time. A lot depends on the reason for non-contact with the child. Courts tend to leave things as they are and not make drastic changes in children's lives unless it is what they want and better for them in the long run. yes, you can get visitation and/or custody but again, it depends on what kept you away (drugs, jail, etc.).
Parents are not the only ones who might face child custody disputes. Many grandparents also want to ensure their rights to visitation or gaining custody of grandchildren are protected by the courts. Every state grants some rights to grandparents for custody or visitation, although these rights are not granted in the Constitution. State legislatures have passed these laws in recent years, and some could be challenged by federal legislation that supersedes state laws. In 2000, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the statute in the state of Washington violated to due process rights that parents have in raising their children. Therefore, it is best to seek advice from a family law attorney if you wish to receive visitation rights.

In order to weigh the decision to grant visitation rights to grandparents, many states give high esteem to a fit parent’s decision-making concerning a child. Help from a family attorney will provide insight to the laws in your state. What to Do Before Seeking Visitation Rights There are situations where your visitation rights as a grandparent can be resolved without court involvement. A family law attorney can also assist you with this process. Mediation is often a viable option where a neutral third party will help you and your grandchild’s parents come to an amicable, legally binding solution. Factors That Determine Visitation or Custody Rights of Grandparents Every court is looking for what is the best interest of the child when considering a grandparent’s right to visitation or custody. Certain conditions have to be met according to state statutes before visitation or custody rights are granted to grandparents. The conditions will vary depending on whether you are seeking visitation rights or custody. A family attorney can explain those conditions prior to filing a petition with the court. These factors are an interpretation of the state statutes related to the case. The physical and emotional needs and safety of the child are considered. If the child is capable of making decisions, the wishes of the child are also considered. Courts also look at whether grandparents can meet a child’s needs.
