Child refsuing to come - does additional maintenance need paying.

It sounds as though your partner and his children might benefit from a few sessions of family therapy. His son choosing to not visit might have many reasons from seeking independence and making own choices as he gets older to resenting his mother having every weekend free to socialise with her boyfriend when he has to change homes and integrate into a blended family.
Is he not wanting to have anything to do with his father? Could they perhaps spend some one on one time? Do the children have their own rooms as your house? If he is already paying above the required rate then this does not need to change.

I'm not slagging him off, I'm stating fact - his mom has said many times ''he is a mommy's boy and nothing will change that, you will never have a relationship with him like i have'' (that's too his dad btw way, not me)
I have been in his position, not only as a child myself with parents separating when i was 7 but also as a divorcee with an ex husband so know exactly how all parties are feeling. Its not about whether my partner can afford it or not, its the principal that she thinks because he's being a stroppy teenager that my partner should pay more - and believe me the money is not for the children, its for her lavish weekends away and holidays to places like Disney Land Paris with her boyfriend whilst she leaves her kids elsewhere - but that's another story!
Their daughter is naughty as she seeks attention off her mom as gets dumped left right and centre with anyone that will have her on the days she's not with her dad. Hence her dad paying for a professional to help her out.
I was hoping to come on here for a bit of legal advice minus the ins and outs of their lives - Please don't worry about replying unless you have something constructive to say regarding any legal aspects of my original post. 

Thanks 

Sounds like a situation for your partner to deal with, not really sure what say you have on this?
