Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina

There is no set age in SC for a child to be able to decide he/she no longer wants to visit with a parent. If there is a reason to stop the visits you may wish to file an action to stop or change visitation with the court. A judge will likely appoint a Guardian ad litem for the child and try to determine what is in the child's best interest. If you are the custodial parent and you interfere with the visitation you may be found in contempt of court. My advice would be to meet with an attorney to discuss your situation and determine what course of action is best for you and your child. As a child gets older and more mature his or her opinion carries more weight with the court, but there is no set age at which a child is in charge of his/her own destiny.
