If you refuse, that's not good. Get with your Schools NCO to see if you can get a deferment

SGT (Join to see) - You can request a compassionate deferment.
'Refusal' will potentially have lots of bad ramifications for you (possible impacts could be loss of promotable status, BAR to continued service, NJP, etc.) - the decision on adverse actions will be up to your leadership so it's impossible to say "this will happen to you" with great accuracy.
As MSG (Join to see) said, "not good".
Scheduling for ALC is centrally managed*, so requests for deferment go to HRC. You'll submit a PAR in IPPS-A and route it through the first GO/SES in your chain of command (see HRC's sample PAR* below) for endorsement/approval.
As part of the deferment request, an alternate course or availability will have to be identified.

We need to do a better job explaining to new parents what their kids care about and what they do not coupled with when good supports systems want to be around. Please see what I wrote to him directly. My 14yo will be pinned C/2LT in CAP tonight and he cares a lot more I am there today than at his birth or his third bday in Korea.
