Can father force visitation on 14 year old he has never met
My son's father has never met him, or had anything to do with him other than pay support ordered 12 years ago. Went back to court twice for modification to increase, and he says he's making less money. He cancelled the court ordered health insurance, and has refused to pay any medical bills since he was born. Now I get papers from attorney about him wanting to get to know his son, and how he has faithfully supported him all these years. My son is very upset and does not want to meet him, even after I suggested he should at least try it, maybe go out for lunch, says if he's forced he'll run away. I've made an apt with a counselor to see if they have advice to help him deal with this. I hate to see the happy, well adjusted, honor roll child I have raised alone become insecure, and threaten to run away. My son says he is well adjusted, gets honor roll and has missed nothing not having his father in his life so far, and he wants nothing to do with him now, and he won't see him even if a judge says he has to. IN Florida... ANY ADVICE APPRECIATED.
