Help answer this question below.

My husband and I are getting a divorce. We have a teenager who is 14 years old. Our teenager's primary residence is with me. He said that he can force our daughter to visit him. Is this true- can he do this?

    If you live in Canada, the child can chose for herself after the age of 12. Also depends on the type of custody you have agreed to....Joint, Full, Supervised visitation etc....If he abuses her then you have a reason to fight this but....if he is a good father (even though a poor husband) perhaps it would be best to allow him to see her. Think of how she will feel and how much she will resent you and not him when she is old enough to reallize that she was robbed of his company. Father's have a place in childrens' lives. I've been divorced for years and even though I have reasons to dislike my ex, I see no gain in disallowing him from access to our daughter. It is healthier for her in the long run. I also make a point of not discuss his negative side when she is around. Just much more healthy for the child emotionally.
