Question

What is the age to where a child can decide on their own if they want to visit a noncustodial parent?

Answer

A child may not make that decision under Texas Law. Visitation is determined by the Court, based on "Best Interests of The Child" usually under what is called a "Standard Possession Order" (SPO) . Once a child attains the age of 18, they are no longer required to visit under the terms of the Standard Possession Order.
