A: Generally speaking, there is no "quick" way to get visitation, unless the other parent agrees or you resort to other means which may only escalate any disagreements you already have with the other parent. You should really consult with an experienced family law attorney, who can help guide you on what to do next, and to help make sure you are doing everything that is required. You don't want to waste time by doing it incorrectly. If you did not file for a temporary order, you may have to wait longer to get a court order for visitation. Before you can be heard by the judge (unless you filed for temporary visitation), you'll need to attend mediation first. Again, consult directly with an attorney, and discuss your situation in detail, so he/she can better help you.
