Both visitation and child support are only "automatic" once the Court orders them. Absent a court order, it's all voluntarily. With that being said, unless there is a very good reason for the father not to have visitation, the court will certainly grant it to him.

If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.SpartanburgLawyers.com). I wish you the best of luck.
