Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

I have a court order for visitation rights to my child of 14 years. He usually comes to Florida from PA to visit for a month every year. This years she has turned him against me an the usual story. I am up to date on child support, but he will have nothing to do with me. What should I do. He has changed just in the last few months. I asked him to come and live with me, but she went off the deep end thinking I would require her to get a job and pay me child support. She says she is in women's lib and will never work. I tried telling her women's lib is equal pay for equal work. She is using my child support as her income only. Now she has my son hating me and I live in Florida and they are in PA. Is there anything I can do including giving up my rights if I have to as she has made my life miserable for the past 14 years.

First of all this is not about her but about your child. If you have papers that state that you have visitation rights, then I suggest you enforce them. A child of 14 can not state where and when he wishes to visit. A judge will allow him to testify but unless he really has a good reason, the judge is going to state no and he must visit.
