I am divorced and have remarried. I have 2 kids from previous marriage who are aged 12 and 10. They are picked up by their father once a month and taken to his home. My eldest who is female is becoming increasing hostile to going with him. She would like to know at what age can she not be forced to go

Charmedone agony auntask her why she is being so reluctant in going to see him. as for the age there is no age where a child can refuse to see their father or vice versa. you have to respect your daughters' decision no matter what she chooses to do and support her 100% of the way

eyeswideopen agony auntIf she doesn't want to visit then I certainly would not make her. It would be nice if she gave you a reason but she is old enough to make this decision. Just let her be the one to tell her father rather than have it come from you. Good luck.

Girls are normally more matur in these situations, and they normally know what they feel. If she feels so strongly about not seeing her father I would just support her wishes at present and just see how it goes.

There is no age limit to this . It is only the child that can make this choice. You can only encourage your child to see her father but you cant force them.
