If your son truly has valid reasons why he no longer wishes to see his father, you, the son and the father should have a face to face meeting to discuss the situation to hopefully resolve it. Children need both parents as they are growing up. Possibly counseling could help the situation or the father can agree to not see the son for a bit.
Assuming the father means well and the desire to not see him is simply a temporary situation by the son, you three should work through things. This does not yet sound like a situation for court intervention.
