Unfortunately, the primary custodian could be held in contempt. That said trying to get a teenager to do anything they don't want to do is tough. At 14 the child is entitled to be heard not that the court will listen and follow the child's desires.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.
