I Need Help Filing for Visitation Rights – Where Do I Start?

Hi everyone …

Am reaching out because I need advice on how to file for visitation rights. Here’s a bit of my situation:

I’m a father of a 6-year-old son. His mother and I separated about a year ago, and unfortunately, things have been quite tense between us. Recently, she’s been restricting my access to our son, and I’ve only been able to see him sporadically. I want to ensure I can have regular, meaningful time with him, but I’m not sure how to go about legally securing visitation rights.

Forms are available online to download and complete. The clerk of the court office might also have resources to help him with the process.

Collect important documents like your child’s birth certificate, proof of residency, and any existing custody agreements (if applicable)
