No, they are not bound to follow the parenting plan. As adults, no one, not even the courts, can force them to do anything they don't want to do. Additionally, if the parent whom the child refuses to visit owes child support, they cannot withhold it or threaten to withhold it to try and coerce the adult-child to act differently.
