Either way, Mom won.  She wanted the visits terminated and now they are.  So, the kid is 18, so it's all over.  So, she shouldn't be surprised if Dad makes zero effort given she spent years blocking the visits.  He's probably just glad he doesn't have to deal with her anymore giving how controlling and unsupportive she is.[/quote]

Wrong. Dad lost. The visits weren't *terminated* when the boy turned 18. They were *no longer mandated* by court order.   Dad was so stupid to fight over this. Instead of taking his son's resistance to traveling to his house to heart and working to meet his son's needs - he should have used that as a wake up call to realize he wasn't being a good father.

Here's a tip - IF YOU NEED A COURT ORDER TO FORCE YOUR 17 YEAR OLD SON TO COME TO YOUR HOUSE HALF THE WEEKENDS OF A MONTH WHEN IT IS 1.5 HOURS AWAY FROM WHERE HE LIVES - TRY SOMETHING ELSE INSTEAD. Try anything else. Try EVERYTHING else.

Why should Mom be surprised if Dad makes zero effort from now on, when he made zero effort before?  [/quote]
