I have been here only two days and have found 99% of the questions regarding divorce, property settlements, pre-nups, child custody, support and visitation, and probate have the same issues. a lack of factual data on which to offer a valid opinion.
That's why I am wasting a question to try and help those of you BEFORE posting.
If you have a question regarding one of these issues then please do yourself and those who may try to help you a favor and supply the following:
Were the two of you married?
In what state was the custody, visitation, divorce and/or property settlement issued (court order)
If pertaining to a child, and unmarried, did the father sign an affidavit of paternity?
If pertaining to a child and married, was the child born within 6 months of being married or divorced?
If visitation, what does your order state regarding the issue?

you will have an attorney read the question but do yourself a disservice if you do not provide facts to help in determining what the best course of action might be.
Also, the more emotion you place in your post, the less relevance you may receive. So step back from the computer, ask yourself how you would explain your issue to the judge, then return and type.
The issues are very complex and state specific so the more FACTUAL data you provide the better service you will receive.

The problem with that Arthur is that the majority of the answer I have seen regarding the issues I posted here have been completely wrong or, as in one case, advising the poster to commit a crime.
That is unacceptable. As an attorney I have an obligation to empart correct information that is relevant to the issues asked and to the state in which the issue resides.
Unless you are an attorney, or the person answering the question is an attorney, they should not be giving out advice as I have seen here.
A classic example was a person who responded that if the non-custodial parent can't pay support they can file for a modification and receive it.
That is not only false in all 50 states but gives the poster a false sense of the law and wastes a lot of time and money pursuing such advice.
If someone doesn't think their issue is important enough to state facts then they will continue to be advised by someone who is not qualified.
