I am 17 (6 months till 18) and my dad and mom just got out of court, forcing my dad to pay child support. now my dad is taking all his anger for her, out on me, saying i cannot have my phone at his house when i visit him every other weekend. he only made that rule cuz (i talk to her too much) no i dont, i ask her something if i need to, r say 'hi, whats up?' but i dont talk to her constantly... and anyways, i refused to go to my dads house this weekend and now he is taking her to court for not forcing me to go to his house....

can the court make me go to my dads house?

It sounds like your Dad is a jerk. No, generally a court will not make you go to your father's house if he is acting as you describe, considering your age. You could ask to speak to the court privately and explain why you wish to stop visiting your father. If I were in your shoes I would not visit my father if he was acting this way either.
