My ex is trying to with hold my daughter from me. I have no money to hire a lawyer. I have had a dna test done to prove she is mine. I pay child support on her what can I do to get visitations to my daughter?

You go back to court and ask for it. Didn't they decide any visitation at the time they asked you to pay child support ?

As Califdad said - go to Court and ask for it. If you already have visitation rights and the mother is refusing to allow you to see the child go to Court to have her held in contempt.

As you've already been advised, file for contempt of court against her.

You can also try contacting the local police department and explain that your ex is violating your visitation order; bring a copy of it with you. "Technically" the police aren't supposed to get involved because it's a civil issue, but some of them do anyway.

When you got a DNA test that the court ordered and child support was ordered, did you get a custody agreement that spelled out your visits and other duties and rights ?

If not, you have to go back to court, check out the legal aid of your area
