Q: How can a father gain visitation of his child while DHR has not removed child but has an open investigation with mother
?? She has kept child away from father for 5months an he recently found out DHR was involved
A: Ah ha! You asked this question before, and it was too confusing for me to understand who you were. If you want visitation and mom isn't allowing you visitation, you'll need to file a law suit either to establish a visitation schedule if one doesn't already exist, or to enforce the existing schedule if mom isn't allowing you to have what you are entitled to. DHRs involvement in the case has nothing to do with visitation. Now, if there are serious problems at home, so serious that DHR has become 'involved,' then you might be able to get custody of the child away from mom. Regardless, you aren't going to be able to do this stuff at home. You'll need a lawyer.
