The Children Act Given therefore that no Children Act Orders are made (other than in exceptional circumstances), that last beyond the age of 16, that is the age at which a child can decide upon contact and indeed with which parent they would wish to live.
The first thing you should do when a child refuses visitation is to notify the other parent as soon as possible. Let them know what's happening, and explain the situation as clearly as possible. Some custody orders include preferred communication methods, and you should notify them via that method when possible.
If the court has made an order for contact, it will expect the resident parent to encourage the child to have contact and ensure that it takes place. However, the child may simply refuse to have contact with the non-resident parent. Where this happens, the resident parent is at risk of being held in contempt of court.
This belief of 50/50 custody is ?rebuttable? or challengeable. To challenge it, a parent must prove ?by a preponderance of the evidence? that the other parent should not have 50/50 custody. This means there is over a 50% chance that what you are saying is true.

For example, a child may not want to have visits with an estranged parent. There's no set age when a child can refuse visitation.
Under West Virginia law, a grandparent of a child residing in West Virginia may apply for Court ordered visitation by filing a motion or petition with the Circuit Court or Family Court of the County where the child resides.
There is no definitive answer as to what age children are able to refuse contact with either parent.
