    It depends on the State, and whether it is an award of custody or visitation.

    Child support is NOT payment for the child's time. It is the fulfillment of the obligation of the parent to provide for the child.

    The Court will not force anything which will be injurious to the child. However, once there is an order granting visitation and she doesn't show, you could be held in contempt of the order. You would be given a court date to explain your position.

    You need to address this issue with your attorney, before you go to court for the final hearing. If there are truly good reasons your child does not want to visit these reasons can be presented before the Court and a determination made for the final order.
