[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He is 17. He doesn’t need to go if he doesn’t want to. Forget custody and support and $. [/quote]

If it’s court ordered he need to go. [/quote]
Even if it is court ordered the young adults wishes should still take priority, it's not his fault he has divorced parents so why should he suffer the consequences of divorce?[/quote]

This. There is no law that says you have to follow a court order: it is there to be enforced if there is a major disagreement.

I am divorced. We don’t follow what “the court order” says. My ex is an attorney. We are more flexible than a court order. [/quote]

A court order is law.  Your ex is a bad attorney. It’s not a suggestion, it the rules you follow. [/quote]

What do you think the court will do if a 17 year old refuses to go?[/quote]

They jail the parent who is not helping them comply.

That's how it played out when my niece (17) refused to see her dad anymore after he married a woman who she didn't get along with. The judge told my niece "your mom will go to jail if you do not go to your ordered visitations with your dad" and that's exactly what happened. [/quote]

Do you have the judge's name and a court citation for this matter?  That judge could be disbarred. [/quote]
