Re: 16yr old rights against parenting plan

16 year old is not a party to a parenting plan, the parents are the parties.

The plan assigns time with the child to each parent, at different times. It doesn't speak to teen's obedience, and the teen is not a party.

If a PARENT fails to follow the plan, the other parent can enforce the order with a contempt action.

Hope this explains. Elizabeth Powell
