My daughter has a court order stating that she has to have her 5-year-old son call his dad every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights at 7:00. His dad used to call at inappropriate times -- mom was at work and couldn't answer her phone, or he would call after my grandson's bedtime or while they were eating dinner -- and he would get mad and verbally abusive with her. So he requested that the judge make her set a schedule. So three times a week, she (or me if she's working and I have the kids) has to call him for her son to talk to him. So yes, you can get a court order requiring the child(ren) to call dad. However, I take issue with the phrase "make them talk." How can you physically force a child to actually talk? That's the problem my daughter has. Nine times out of ten, my grandson flat refuses to talk.
