hasnt gone to fathers home for 3 months, because of a agument that was very verbally abuse... father remarried in may,requested daughter not come to wedding... I felt he and her should sit down and talk, but he sent her a registered letter after 3 months demanding she be at his house, even if her would at least call her to talk, but her doesnt he tries to bully and demand instead ,2nd, there is a 2nd daughter who is goning to be 18 in July....
She also was part of this argument,,, He hasnt spoke with , nor did her bother to attend any of her senior functions including her own high school graduation... which i personally informed him of, its a public event so i felt he could have attended regardless of the relationship issues.. again in time they will all cool off, meanwhile im in the middle it all

Your options as a responsible parent are to have your daughter visit as she is supposed to. More likely than not YOU are the cause for her not wanting to visit. She is a minor and a teenager, you are THE adult and should be ensuring that she visits providing no abuse is taking place, and I am certain there isnt or you would already know your options, and done what was necessary. You don't let her decide when she comes home or where she stays at night, or make the rules of the house, why would you let her decide not to visit her father. From the way your question is posed it is obvious you are affecting this or you would have asked "what do i do" rather than "what are my options" Dont play games with your kids and custody or they will resent you for it, not her father.

I don't know what PA law says, you'll have to check on that. However, if you have a parenting agreement in place, it may cover such an event. If it doesn't, then you may have to go back to court. A divorce decree and a parent agreement is a legally binding agreement between the parents and not the children. If your child does not want to visit the father, you, the father, or the court can compel her to comply with the visitation schedule. That's just tough ****. You can request the father to visit but what good will that do? She still won't go.
Consult an attorney.

FAMILY LAW VARIES STATE TO STATE
SEE LEGAL CLINIC
POSSIBLE EMANCIPATE, BUT THAT MAY JEOPARIZE
OTHER PARENTS AUTHORITY AS WELL
MINOR UNTIL 18 NEEDS BENEFIT OF BOTH PARENTS
CONTRIBUTIONS
SOMETIMES ONE PARENT ISN'T A STRONG CONTRIBUTOR. NEVERTHELESS, HE IS "THE" PARENT.
THE REALITY CAN BE EXPLAINED WITH THE STRONGER PARENT'S LOVING GUIDANCE.

tell the dad he has to come to see her. and maybe she will be more comfortable. and he won't stay as long since it's your house. and he'll come less frequently.
