A: If you're struggling with supervised child visitation and can't afford an attorney, there are steps you can take. In Georgia, legal aid organizations offer low-cost assistance. You might consider representing yourself in court using available resources and forms for pro se litigants. Mediation is an option to resolve issues without going to court. Documentation of your attempts to communicate with the visitation facility is essential. While it can be challenging without an attorney, these resources can help you navigate your child visitation situation. For personalized legal advice tailored to your unique circumstances, it's advisable to consult with an attorney.

A: You wrote in to ask lawyers what you can do because you can’t afford a lawyer, and really the best advice is to get a lawyer to assist you. We don’t know the circumstances within which you ended up with the visitation you have. Nor do we know what has changed since then or if it has been 2 years since your last order was signed. If you qualify for a modification or visitation, then you can file for one and articulate to the court why you think they should grant you the relief you are seeking. But you need to first determine if you can modify your current order before you work on what to say to the court.
