[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He's 17. As long as you brought him to visitation and encouraged him to  try and work it out with his dad and not cheering or egging him on to walk out, then it's not on you. You can only do but so much... At that age can you truly force a child? This is on his father to reach out, encourage him to stay and work it out. You shouldn't have to do that for your ex. [/quote]

He’s not 17, that was another poster.  He’s 14.

If I said “I need you to do this.” he’d listen to me.  Especially if he thought it could influence custody.  [/quote]

The court is going to expect you to follow and support the agreement. To me that means telling him they he needs to stay. [b]You seem to be sending a message otherwise by letting him believe he doesn’t have to follow the custody schedule[/b]. If you don’t support it, it would be easy to argue that you aren’t complying.

You can’t force a kid to go with a parent unwillingly.

Not just a kid, a teenager.  I remember myself at that age, short of sending a police car to pick me up, I don't know what would make me do a forced visitation.  [/quote]
