Yes, the Virginia court would award you at the very least visitation
rights. Beyond that, however, I cannot say as I know virtually none of the relevant facts in your case. Nevertheless, I can say with reasonable certainty that if you do not have an attorney representing your interests in this divorce, you will very likely end up with "the short end of the stick", so to speak, with
respect to all of the important matters involved in the dissolution of
your marriage, including those involving custody, visitation as well as support.
