Q: How can a father obtain visitation while DHR has not removed child but is involved knowing father has not seen child in
5months? Can appointed social worker arrange a type of respid visit order ?
A: You've got to help me out here...I can't tell what you are asking. So DHR is 'involved' in your situation. This tells me that somehow DHR became concerned about the health or safety of your child, but not so concerned that they were willing to remove the child from the home. Apparently the child is in mom's custody, not dad's. One problem is that it's not clear from your question whether you are mom or dad. If you are mom, which is what I am guessing, you don't want dad to be able to visit with child because dad hasn't seen the kid in 5 months. The kid probably hasn't seen dad in 5 months because the two of you are fighting. Quit fighting and let dad see the kid. If you are dad, you probably have mom ticked off at you because you aren't paying child support. Start paying child support and start visiting with your kid. Dads have the right to visit with their kids, even when mom's get the vapors. Moms shouldn't have to put up with a lot of grief from dads over child support. Finally;;;I don't have any idea what a 'respid visit order' is.
