In Michigan when can a child decide when they don't want to vist the non-custodial parent anymore??

Question

The non-custodial parent has not made any arrangements to see the child at least 8 years and now wants to see the child. The child is 13 and doesn't want anything to do with non-custodial parent. Does the child have the right to decide?

Answer 1

Generally yes, the child can refuse, but the pouse can make a motion to the court saying the reasons why the reconnnection should be allowed...the court might decide to order couseling for both separately and also tiogether. It is a gray area question.

Answer 2

in ky its 12 and h**l yes they have a right to decide. it is them. as long as you are not putting things in thier head. bad things about the other person

Answer 3

I'm in Oakland County. I'm 29 now and unsure if the laws have changed, but at 12 and 13 I was deciding when I didn't want to go spend the weekend with my dad. I never made a permanent decision not to see him anymore, so I don't know if those decisions are different or not.

You can call almost any lawyer's office and have this answered by a professional for free. If you're in Oakland County, you can call the Women's Survival Center for free assistance with this issue.

Good luck.
