I am not sure of all the facts of your case. But I do know that no judge is going to expect you to drag a child back and forth from Illinois every weekend. There are specific visitation rules in West Virginia. They are not every weekened or even every other weekend like they are if you are living in the same area. Call the courthouse in the county he filed and ask that a copy of the visitation rules be mailed to you.

Maybe I misunderstood but did you say your daughter's fathers brother which would be your daughter's uncle. Why would he have any rights to visitation? Especially having to go back and forth and the child being only two. I have heard of grandparents having visitation rights but not an uncle. Does he pay any support to you or your child if not I would call a lawyer and just double check to make sure, but I don't think an uncle has any visitation rights. Good luck..
