Re: visitation law
Yes, until she is 18.
Is there a valid reason she is avoiding visitation?
It is unlikely that a parent would take this court, with her 18th birthday coming up so soon.
Practically speaking, if a 17 1/2 year old does not want to visit, and the primary parent's wishes are falling on deaf ears, it would difficult to force the issue.
