A child cannot arbitrarily defy a court order or agreement. So, until the order is changed, the child is supposed to attend the other parents parenting time.
For your situation, you should have enforced it and said that if the ex wants to leave it to the child's discretion, the ex can seek a court order providing that the child can choose. Otherwise, the child is to attend parenting time and it is the ex's obligation to facilitate and encourage same. If the ex gets the doctors and service providers to testify, than that is on the ex to arrange.
But no, the child wasn't supposed to have a choice. But by failing to do anything to enforce what the court order provided, you screwed up and there is nothing that can be done now to change it.
