My Child's Mother Won't Allow Me Visitation

By James Garrett

In today?s society, there are many children who are born to unwed parents. Regardless if the parents were involved in a relationship, or if they had a one-time encounter, both parents are equally entitled to enjoy a relationship with the child under Virginia child custody laws.

In Virginia, the laws are very clear that gender of the parents shall have no bearing on child custody and visitation. Custody and visitation is determined by what is in the best interest of the child. Unless it is shown that your relationship with your child is somehow detrimental to the child, the other parent may not deny you a parental relationship with your child.

It is important that both parents also understand that child support and custody/visitation, while certainly related, do not affect one or the other. The custodial parent may not withhold visitation rights from the other parent due to non-payment of child support. On the other side, the non-custodial parent may not stop paying child support because they are denied visitation.

Virginia child custody and visitation cases are complex and are governed by several detailed state statutes and numerous Virginia Appellate and Supreme Court decisions. To be successful in your child custody case, you will want a Virginia Beach child custody lawyer who is familiar with the law and cases. Contact our office for a free child custody consultation.
