∙ 13y agoIf the visitation schedule has been established by a court, then I don't believe minors are ever allowed to "refuse" visitation. The court can be petitioned to modify the earlier orders, but until this is done, it doesn't really matter what the child wants.
That may not sound "fair", but it's also not fair to allow the custodial parent to manipulate the child into refusing visitation... something that's typically fairly easy to do.

First, it is an Urban Myth that fathers go for custody to avoid paying child support. First, who would support the children while in his custody? Less then 15% of mothers are ordered to pay, and depending on circumstances, the custodial father is often still ordered to pay child support.
