Q: Will the judge grant visitation for a CS case? I filed through DHR
Filed child support and told the father he can get her on weekends and he does not want to. Instead he wants to get her wed and thurs which affects her sleep for school. He's stating that he will tell his attorney that i stopped all vistation which I did not. And aslo fight the child support case. Do I need an attorney as well even though I'm going through DHR?
A: A Judge could hear the issue of visitation during the hearing to establish child support, or he could hear it at a different time. The DHR attorney will not represent you regarding the issue of visitation. The DHR attorney will simply prosecute the issue of child support. So the answer would be yes. You would need to hire an attorney to represent you regarding the issue of visitation.
