When can a child refuse visitation with non-custodial parent

Children need to be able to refuse visitation with their non-custodial parent if they don’t want it. It is important that parents not force children into any situation where they are uncomfortable or feel unsafe. If a child does not wish to see the other parent, then he/she should never be forced. And while it may seem easier on some days for both parties involved, in most cases making a child visit someone against his will can leave lasting emotional scars and cause more damage than good. Parents should instead work together to find solutions so everyone wins!
