Re: Visitation Rights

YOU NEED TO FILE A PETITION FOR VISITATION IN THE JUVENILE COURT OF THE COUNTY YOU LIVE IN. YOU MAY EVEN WANT TO SEEK CUSTODY IF YOU SUSPECT THE CHILD IS NOT BEING TAKEN CARE OF. MOST JUVENILE Court Clerks CAN OFFER YOU ASSISTANCE WITH FILING SUCH A PETITION. AT LEAST GO AND TALK TO THE CLERK AND SEE WHAT OTHER OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE.
