A: Hello and thank you for using Justia. Your brother has to file a motion requesting visitation. This will have the Court regulate the visitation process and garantee his right to have visitation with his daughters. The Court will obligate the Mother to allow visitation and paternal relationships. It is a very good idea to have an Attorney do this on behalf of your brother. Have him contact me directly for additional information.
