Legal Question in Family Law in Washington

Childrens' rights in the State of Washington

I have twin stepsons at the age of 13 who at this time are refusing to go down and spend time with their father and do not answer his telephone calls. This is against the divorce decree made in California as to visitation. There has been an allegation from one of the twins as to abuse. Do they at the age of 13 have any say as to when they see their dad or not? Or, by law, are they going to have to keep being put into a bad situation? Does the father have the right to modify the divorce decree in court as to the children without the ex-wife ageeing thereto? She is the custodial parent and was also the petitioner.
