What else can I help you with?
At what age can minor children refuse to visit non custodial parent in TN?
Minors are not responsible for those decisions. The custodial parent is responsible and is the one who will be held accountable by the court. The children don't get to decide that they can disobey a custody agreement at any age.

Does a child have to visit non custodial parent if he doesn't want to in the state of TN?
Yes or else the parent with custody may be found in contempt of court and that could lead to a monetary fine and/or time in jail. 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.

What age can a child choose not to go for visitation in TN?
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. Failing the change of a court order, the answer is "18." As soon as they're legally adult, then the visitation order no longer applies and they can do whatever they want as far as visiting or not visiting anybody (subject to certain other restrictions like parole terms, of course).
