What should you do when your child says, “I don’t want to go to Dad’s (or Mom’s) house this weekend”?
Many parents feel torn between honoring their child’s emotions and obeying the court’s orders. The truth is, unless the visitation order is modified, you’re still legally required to make the child available for visits.
You’re not expected to drag a screaming child to the car, but courts expect you to encourage the visit, have your child ready, and avoid interfering. If you don’t—and there’s no court-approved reason—you could be accused of contempt or parental alienation.
That said, you’re not powerless. If your child is consistently upset, anxious, or fearful, document everything and consult an attorney. It may be time to request therapy, a custody evaluation, or a modification.
