Legal Question in Family Law in Washington

Re: Chil's right to choose.

At 18 you can no longer be held in contempt if your children don't see their father. Until then you are supposed to encourage - or at bare minimum NOT discourage them from visiting their father.

If the situation at their father's is unbearable for the kids you need to engage in dispute resolution (if your plan requires that) or go back to court and ask the court to modify the order.

There is this myth that there is some magic age when kids get to determine for themselves whether or not they see the other parent. Its a myth,
