My daughter who is 12 years old has come to dislike her father strongly over the past year. He doesn't pick her up when the court has ordered and has recently decided to change that. She has been emotionally drained by him and she goes into a panic when she thinks he may pick her up. She has become so upset that she has threatened to run away when he is supposed to show up. I have a wonderful relationship with her, she is my adopted daughter and I don't want to force her to do something she doesn't want to do. Will I be in contempt of court if she refuses to go? I don't want her to be put through anymore bad experiences. She was his daughter when I met him (she was 3) and her birth mother relinquished her rights at the age of 5. She has had a rough go of it and I'm the only person she trusts and respects. What do you advise?
