Child Custody
If you divorce and you have a child age 11 - do you have to let your spouse have visitation rights? At what age can a child make their own decision of whether or not to visit their father ?

Re: Child Custody
Your child can decide not to visit his father when he turns 18 and is no longer a child.
Basically, the judge makes decisions regarding visitation. Y
ou can read more about a standard possession order at the Texas Family Code which is available on-line. Just go to any search engine and type in Texas Family Code. I also think the Texas Attorney General website has information that you might find helpful.
If drugs, etc. are a problem, then visitation can be limited to supervised.
Good luck!
