The custodial parent has to ensure their child abides by any court ordered visitation or be found in contempt of court. That can have some very unpleasant consequences.
If the child has valid reasons why they do not wish to abide by the visitation order, the custodial parent, an attorney or guardian ad litem may petition the court of jurisdiction for visitation modification based on the same. The judge may request a meeting with the child or the parent or other agent may provide a letter from the child stating their wishes, and the judge may take them into consideration when and if making any modifications or changes. Generally, the older the child, the more weight given to their wishes.
However, again, this must be done "by the book". The child cannot arbitrarily decide they are not going to abide by a court order...not without the custodial parent suffering the fallout anyway.

If you have sole legal and physical custody with the father allowed two day unsupervised visits can you move out of state and how will this affect visiting?
I get the feeling either this father is in prison or is not safe to be alone with your child. If you have sole custody of your child then you can move anywhere without the father's permission as long as it's not stated in the custody order that the father has that one hour visitation right twice per month. However, if it's working out where the father and child have a bond, then it's best to see a lawyer and try to work something out.
