Q: What If My 14-Year-Old Doesnt Want to See Her Father? A: Children ages 14 years old and older must be allowed to express their preferences to the court when considering visitation and custody arrangements in California.
In California, a minor at least 14 years old can be considered of sufficient age to express a preference for which parent they want to live with. However, they can express that preference at any age, but it may not be viewed seriously when younger than 14.
The alternating weeks schedule has your child spend seven days with one parent, then seven days with the other. You can customize this to fit your situation with Custody X Change. The 3-4-4-3 schedule has your child spend three days with one parent, then four days with the other parent.
This amendment further adds that a child who is at least 14 years old must be allowed to directly address the court regarding custody and visitation unless the judge finds that it would not be in the childs best interests, in which case the reasons must be stated on the record.
At what age can a child refuse visitation in California? In summary, in California, a child can refuse visitation once they are legally considered an adult. The court may still consider the childs wishes if they are mature enough to express their needs and preferences before they reach adulthood.

A mother can only refuse access to the father if a court gives her the right to do so. Court-ordered regulations determining that a parent has no access to their children are rare and unusual. In these cases, the court would possibly determine that the child-parent relationship is detrimental to the childs well-being.
Once the parties have separated, California law encourages both parents to maintain a relationship with the child under most circumstances. Absent a history of abuse, neglect, domestic violence, or substance abuse, there is usually a presumption for reasonable visitation with each parent.
