When Can a Child Refuse Visitation in California? As in most other states, children in California aren't allowed to refuse to visit a parent under existing visitation orders until they reach adulthood (18 years of age) or otherwise become legally emancipated.

Normally, a parent will seek a change to the child custody order if a child's refusal to see the other parent goes against a court order. The court will try to make orders to repair breakdowns in the family while still ensuring reasonable visitation when deciding custody.

Filing for a Child Custody Modification in California Obtain the required forms, such as the FL-300, also known as the "Request for Order." Fill out this form with details of the requested change. Make copies of the forms. Make two copies of the completed forms.

Until a child reaches eighteen, is emancipated, or the custody agreement is modified and approved by the court, it must be followed. It is up to the custodial parent to make honest attempts to follow the visitation schedule.
