Does a father of a teenage son who refuses to meet with him have any chance of getting full or partial exemption from paying him child support ?

Yes – if he brings legal to reduce or cancel the maintenance and the court finds that the son's refusal to meet his father is not justified!

In January 2012, Tel Aviv Family Court , Israel, accepted a father's plea to cancel maintenance for his 14 year old son, immediately reducing it to half , and cancelling it completely, if the child still refused to meet his father when he reached the age of 15. It held there was no justification for the minor's crude and hurtful behavior , that he had been incited against his father, and had no real explanation for his persistent refusal to meet him.
