Re: 13 yr old visitation
If the mother fails to send the child for the specified periods of visitation, she can be held in contempt of court and punished accordingly. Most judges would be very reluctant to allow a 13 year old child to dictate to the parents when she will / will not visit.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
