Re: Childs rights to stop Visitation

In Tennessee the age at which a child of divorce can legally decide to stop visiting with a parent is 18.... in other words, when they are an adult, they can see whomever they wish, or refuse to see anytone they do not want to see.

But until they are 18 they do not have that choice.

Encourage the visitation and the kid will get over it.
