Will police enforce a custody order with a teenager?

Hey guys,

We have a custody agreement in place between my ex and me, but our teenage child has been refusing to accompany me when it is my custodial time. Is there anything more I can do to convince my teenager to follow the custody plan, or will the police get involved and force them to?

Navigating a custody agreement with a teenager who’s resisting can be tricky. It’s important to understand that while the police won’t intervene unless there’s a safety concern or criminal issue, it’s crucial to explore legal options through mediation or court if communication doesn’t resolve the issue.

The police will not force anybody to do anything unless there is a criminal issue or a threat. If a teen simply says they don’t want to do something the police will not do anything.
