My son is 16 years old and does not want to go to his dads for the summer for 6 weeks. He has a job and would have to quit his job to go out of state to his dads. Does he have to go? His father is insisting that he go, no matter what his son wants to do.
Answer
If there is a current Parenting Plan or Order of the court that gives the father that time-sharing in the summer, then the child is required to go. Minor children do not necessarily have the ability to dictate if and when they will visit the other parent.
Answer
Follow the time sharing plan put in place by the court. You must insist that he go for his time sharing and put in place measures to ensure that he goes. Document and keep all evidence of the steps you have taken to effectuate the time sharing so that in the event he ends up not going you will not be in contempt of court.

Answer
You have to follow the order of the court unless it is modified. The kid having a summer job is likely not enough to modify the order but you can try. Contact my office for free consultation. 727-446-7659.
