If you have sole custody then there is a reason the courts granted you this. This means your daughter's father does not ever have to see him again and there is not much he can do about it. If she still wants to see her father then let it be as long as he treats her right, isn't an alcoholic or into drugs. She has a right to see her father when she wishes. If she has decided for reasons of her own not to see him then legally she doesn't have to, because you have sole custody. When children don't want to see a parent(s) there is usually good reason. Sit down with your daughter and ask how she feels about seeing her father and if she doesn't want to see him why. If the father has court order visitation, then she has to go, and if she doesn't then you can be held in contempt of court. If there is a *legitimate* reason why she doesn't want to go (ie: he verbally abuses her, does drugs, etc) then you need to go back to court and get the order changed. The real question is WHY would she not want to see her father. Children usually feel torn between to home it there is no comunication or the parents don't act like parents. So she might feel the pressure to stay with on more than the other in order to spare feelings. The best thing to do is to get help not legal.....medical..go to conseling first. If there is a court order of visitation the custodial parent cannot arbitrarily deny visitation to the other parent. Not obeying any court order is a contempt of court violation and can result in serious consequences. If the parents decided upon "reasonable" visitation rather than it being ordered by the court; the custodial parent may temporarily halt visitation and request a modification of the order. At the hearing the parent who filed the petition must be able to show "just cause" as to why such action was taken. ==
This is the answer to the persons question two up. Maybe the child hates that parent for reasons of their own. And they dont love that person anymore. I am 16 and am going through this right now. i would know.

In most states the minor under age 14 cannot chose to see or not see said parent. Especially if parents are divorced and have either joint custody or some type of visitation worked out in the court order. However if daughter is under full custody of mother and does not wish to see the father and no visitation rights have been rewarded to the father the daughter does not have to see him. Most time the courts will decide visitation rights and so forth.
