Question:  Can children be forced to go for visitation?

Answer:   Texas law is interpretted to require that the parent in possession of the child encourage the visitation and "tender" the child. In other words, get the child on the porch and if they refuse to go, so be it. However, parents must not engage in alienation of the children against the other parent. It is ultimately harmful to the children. Incidentally, the older the children are, the more their opinion is appreciated by the court.
