Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

My father and mom split about eight years ago. She has tooken him to court in the past to get full custody and has failed. Recently, he has been convicted, jailed, and released for first drug use and second violating orders of protection against his current wife. I have three siblings: ten, eleven, and fifteen. Must they see him? I am seventeen and my biggest concern is do I have to see him or can I make the decision not to without a ruling saying I musn't?
