VerifiedIf a visitation order is in place then children are expected to comply with that arrangement. You need to get Dad's voluntary cooperation or have a judge order that the visitation be completed as ordered. While I can understand your desire not to have the child miserable, there is an expectation that parent parent and have tne children compy with the rules set up for them. The Dad needs to understand this and convey the requirement to the child as well.

VerifiedAt 13 neither a Court nor the police will make the your son comply even if the would do so as against the father.
I don't know what you mean about making your son understand but there's no legal way to do so unless you want to pay a lawyer to write him a letter or you a letter to show him about how access is meant to work. I don't know if that would work.
There are also books you or he can read and there's therapy but from a legal point of few you cannot make someone understand.
Let me know if I can add anything to this though as I feel badly I cannot offer a solution to this very difficult situation you are immersed in.
I hope that helps as a starting point.
