Charlotte, NC asked in Family Law for North Carolina

Q: How can I go about getting visitation without a laywer?

The mother wants to be in control of the visitation and when she says we need to talk it’s never about that it’s about the person I am with or us in the past. She does not have money for a laywer either so what is the best way for us to handle this

A: The best way to handle it is for her to do right and work with you to allow visitation that doesn't come with strings attached in the form of control or lectures - that's free for both of you. However, since she is likely not going to do right - the next best thing is for you to hire an attorney and force her to do right. Since she can not afford an attorney, it shouldn't cost you too much to put her in her place.
