[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here:  our court order requires that I drive him to see his dad at the beginning of the weekend, and his dad drops him off at the end of the weekend.  The driving is required to be split 50/50.

My understanding is that  in my state, the child does not get to decide until 18.  Their desires can be taken into account, but they don't get to make the ultimate decision.[/quote]

Can 50/50 driving be turned into dad does the pickup?

Can your son be bribed by dad into getting his own car and driving himself? Does he have a license?

What does your ex say about the prospect of you having to manhandle an almost grown man into the car? Has he talked directly to dad about this? Do a speaker phone conversation and record yourself telling your son you don't have the resources to fight this and your preference is that he does his visitations, you do not support him staying with you.

Dad should  not be forced to bribe his son with a car to see him.  Mom can buy the car out of child support.  A good parent will encourage the 4 day a month visits as its not a lot of time and its important for child to have a relationship with both parents.

OP clearly has the resources if she's willing to terminate visitation.  [/quote]
