2 Answer from Attorneys
If you are notified properly by being served with papers in the visitation/custody action and you fail to appear, yes the court can make rulings without you there. You should never not appear in court when served with papers, and if you feel uncomfortable appearing alone, you can certainly hire an attorney who can navigate you through the process effectively
