It depends on different factors as to how you should proceed at this point. The information you provided is not enought to tell you what to do in your case. Custody and visitation issues are so very sensitive, and if handled the wrong way, could be damaging. You should consult with an attorney with ALL the facts of your case to the present date to determine the best course of action.

However, based on the information provided, and not to say this is how YOU should proceed since I don't have enough information, I would file a request for appointment of minor's counsel. This depends on additional factors.

Really, before you do anything, you should consult with an attorney and explain what has happened in your case so far.
