What options does a 17-year-old have if he doesn't want to participate in court ordered visitation with a parent?

unless the father is abusing the 17yr old physically or emotionally then there isn't much of a choice.
Court order visitation is mandatory unless the parent with visitation relinquishes his or her right to do so.
The option is for the custodial parent to file a petition on behalf of the minor requesting the visitation order be amended or rescinded.
A 17-year-old would be given the opportunity to present reasons for the request to the judge, likewise, the parent who holds visitation rights would be allowed to file an objection.

Can a child be forced by law to participate in vistation with her father?
If there is a court order of visitation it must be obeyed. The exception would be if the child would be placed in unsuitable or dangerous circumstances by the visitation. The only method for avoiding court ordered visitation is to have the order amended or rescinded by the court, an action that very few judges are willing to undertake.

What to do when a non custodial parent cannot complete the visitations?
There are a couple of options but the best would be to file for a modification of the visitation order if amenable to both parents. Otherwise, the parent who is not abiding by court ordered visitation could have their visitation rights amended without their consent. In extreme cases they may be found in contempt of court if visitation has been mandated.

Should a child be allowed to miss school for visitation with non custodial parent?
This is my thought son the question. I believe that the court ordered visitation should be an excused absence from school seeing that if the custodial parent does not OBEY the court order it is then considered Contempt of Court, so....Yes if it is court ordered a child should be excused from school for a visitation.
