Re: My step sons visitation

He doesn't have to go as long as you're willing to be held in contempt for failure to follow the visitation ORDER. If there is some good reason why he does not want to go, he and you need to tell the judge and perhaps (s)he will change the order. Visitation is not discretionary; it is required according to the ORDER. Good Luck.
