Addressing Child Refusal: Navigating Visitation Challenges
Hi, I’m Tulsa Dads.Law attorney Clint Hastings. I practice in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and I focus on fathers’ rights. The first step in addressing a child’s refusal to attend visitation with their mother is to determine the underlying reason. Is there a specific issue causing distress, such as a conflict or emotional distress?
Once you have identified the root cause, you can work towards finding solutions. If the issue is more serious, involving a reconciliation therapist may be necessary to address any underlying emotional concerns.
Ensuring Compliance with Court Orders
It is important to remember that failing to comply with court-ordered visitation can have serious legal consequences. If the mother is not able to see the child due to their refusal, she may take legal action such as filing a motion to enforce the visitation order.
As the custodial parent, it is your responsibility to encourage and facilitate visitation with the other parent. This may involve providing incentives for the child to attend, such as promising a fun activity afterwards.
