Kids don't want to visit!!

[stancavagej]

What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state?Florida....My sons are 17 and 15 and do not want to visit their mom. This is due to the 3+ hour drive every other weekend and they have a social life and are very active in High School athletics. We have honored they visitation agreement religiously to this point. At what age do the children have the final say-so in this matter and at what age does the visitation rule expire?

I believe the answer to your questions are...18 and 18

I believe that short of going back to court to have the visitation orders amended there is nothing formal you can do until the children are of legal age.

Is there no way to compromise? Have they spoken with her about their concerns for missing out on activities? Would she be willing to meet halfway? Could she become more involved in some of their activities? Has anyone raised the subject of amending the visitiation? IE maybe less frequent but longer visits? I hate to think this mother would be so callous as to not take the kids needs into consideration on this.
