You do, but if your children are consistently reluctant to attend visitation or avoid it altogether, you may have grounds for an enforcement action of the custody agreement.
Your ex-spouse has an obligation to uphold the terms of your agreements, and if it appears that they are influencing your children not to see you, there’s likely a violation happening.
One exception to this compliance rule is older teenage children.
Judges recognize that it can be difficult to make teenagers do things they don’t want to do, and courts take a lighter hand when visitation issues with teenagers come up.
