Re: Visitation
She needs to find an attorney and file a custody petition as soon as possible. If she is indigent, there are legal aid services available in most counties.
Child Visitation
Your friends first mistake was going to the protective order hearing without a lawyer. Her second mistake is not getting one now. The longer she waits, the less chance she has of getting custody.
