[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP.  Resurrecting this thread.  Things have become far worse.  DS insists he doesn't want to go to his father's house, his father is refusing to meet with him anywhere but there.  DS asked me to pull the plug.  He's 12 years old, he can make up his mind.  Ex-DH threatened to call the cops if DS doesn't come to his house and have them physically bring DS there.  The lawyers are involved.  [/quote]

Child knows you don't want the visits and is trying to side with you.  He is 12, no he cannot make up his own mind.  Can he choose to go to school?  Can he choose to go to the doctor?  No.  Step up and be a parent and tell him you expect him to comply with the visits.  Cops will not bring child there but he can file in court and make things very difficult and expensive for you.[/quote]

At 12, children have significant say in court about spending time with parents. If there is documentation of unwelcoming atmosphere for biochild in dad's house, it is unlikely courts will force visitation.  Dad will have to spend funds to file to enforce visitation.  Thag seems unlikely if miney is tight.  Alsk Dad will jot be seen as angel in picture if he is seen to be spurning compromises offered to enable continued visitation.[/quote]
