My son is six year old and does not want to see his bilogical father. He is very scared of being with him and being away from me. His father sees him every other weekend from Friday morning until Saturday evening. What are the chances that--name removed--judge would even listen to my son or even reduce the visitation, taking away the overnight stays?

Re: Stopping or altering visitation
Very few- Attempts to keep this visitation
ongoing so that the father has a role in your son's life will be maintained. UNLESS, there are
serious problems, such as abuse, or neglect.
Your son may need him in life, or when he is older, and the Court will try to maintain both parent's contacts. Most of the time, parents are more dependable due to emotional and biological ties.
Perhaps, both of you could work on making Father's visits more comfortable for your son. I am not saying that you are wrong . Young children are often upset about a change of circumstances and leaving their mommy. The Court will most probably decide that the father has a right and reason to see his son. On the other hand, if it becomes too miserable and dad drops out, where will Dad be when he's 16, 14 or 21?
