No, it's not all on the Dad and she is spinning the story to make her look 100% good and him 100% bad.  [b]He doesn't need to be flexible.  He has a court ordered visitation twice a month.[/b]  She needs to stick to it.  You need to pay attention.  She was fine with child not visiting.  [/quote]

Yup, it's all on the Dad.

You are right, legally he did NOT need to be flexible. And he WASN'T. And get this - as a result of his lack of meeting his kid's need (because the LAW didn't say he HAD to) he now has no relationiship with his son.

At some point, you need to stop forcing your kid to do things because it is the LAW, and start being the kind of parent a kid wants to be around.

You need to pay attention. Mom was NOT FINE that the kid didn't want to go to his dad's. But she wasn't going to force the kid to go - at age 17. The judge said she did nothing wrong, too. Keep up.  She was sad that the dad had screwed things up with his kid by refusing to be flexible and meet the kid's legitimate social needs and wants.

So sorry, but Dad screwed up. If you only have a relationship with your kid because the law requires him to be there with you... at age 17?  That's no relationship.
