Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
I have two girls ages 12 and 14 who go to there dad's house every other weekend for visitation. The divorce states every 1st 3rd and 5th weekend but we do every other. The girls have come to a time in there life were they don't wish to go every other weekend and if they don't I don't make them but there dad is telling they don't have a choice they have to go if he says they do. My question is do they legally have to go if they do not want to?

They do not have a choice. He can't insist they comes every other weekend unless you and he agree to that, but the court order says he gets them every 1st, 3rd, & 5th weekend and he can insist on that. If they don't go, you are in violation of the court order and he can file an enforcement action against you. Worst case, you go to jail.
