Does your 12-year-old have to go to visitation with his father if he does not want to go and his dad has to physically force him into the car?

[Edit]

Answer

If i were u i wouldnt have my child do anything he dosen't want to besides he is 12 yrs old i think he knows whether he wants to go or not if i wer you i would ask him how he feels about going to see his dad and if he didnt want to go then i wouldnt make him go.

Answer

If Dad has court ordered visitation rights, then the child has to go. If he does not, then you (the mother) can held in contempt of court. If there is a legitimate reason why the child does not want to go, then you need to petition the court to change the visitation order.

Answer

My 11 year old daughter definitely does not want to go on visits with father. We are just starting process. I will have full custody. Father is a sex addict, views nake pictures on computer and my daughter caught him. She is very uncomfortable with him. she catches him staring at her and has woke up with him in the room staring at her. He is leaving to be with a Dominatrix Queen and I don't want her to go on visits with that kind of stuff. My two boys cannot stand my husband. They are 19 and 20. They have a choice. Does my daughter?

Answer

That is an issue that you must address in the court procedure before any visitation rights are allowed, not after. You must present substantial evidence that the minor would be harmed emotionally in order to support the claim. It is very rare for a judge to disallow visitation to a biological parent; it is more likely if the evidence justifies the action that supervised visitation would be mandated.

Answer

My Step-don was not forced to come to visits with us if he didn't want to. We were told that that was up to him when he was 12. He can get his own lawyer throught the legal aid and tell them what he wants for visitation. But I don't believe that you can physically force the child to go. That is abuse. I know that much.
