Re: child visitation rights

If you want to modify the father's access to the child, you will need to file an action in Family Court to do so. In light of his being incarcerated and not having a close relationship with the child, the Court may make some changes, at least temporarily if not long term.

These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.

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