    Visitation
    Hi my name is sid from CA!I have been going down this path with my ex girl friend and soon to be year old daughter!I filed court papers to get a dna test and child support and Visitation!The judge let me get a dna test and it came back that the girl was mine.I had been seeing our baby since she was four and a half months.So the judge had told us that we had to go to the help center and try and work it out and if if did not work out then me and her would go back to court!So I said that I would pay her some child support and that was the fist thing that I would do,but it seem like she had not Idea that we would be going on a ca Visitation timetable so I told her that we could go home and talk about and then come back to fill this out.So we agree to come back in and make the order final!So it seem like it was the dumbest thing to do because she would not come back to finish and we had a mouth for the dead line.So we had to go back to the court to come to a final agreement and she never showed up and now we have trial.So how can I ask for Visitation?I had told her 3 month ago that I was moving 3 and half hour away because rent is cheaper and I got a bigger house to where I can do more thing with our baby!And she seem to say no matter what she will not let our baby stay with me.

    If you don't agree on a custody/ visitation order you have to go to mediation before the judge can make a decision (no trial before mediation) if you are in California. You said you are in CA, which is California, correct?

    Fine. Then what I said holds.

    You mentioned something about a "CA visitation timetable", which doesn't exist (unless you are calculating timeshare). That's why I was confused.

    What's a "visitation timetable"? I've been a lawyer in California for 20 years, I'm a Certified Family Law Specialist, and I've been practicing family law for 7 years, and I don't know what you are talking about. It doesn't make any sense.

    To calculate child support you need to know what percentage of time the kids are with each parent. That's timeshare.

    It's doesn't matter if you live 10,000 miles away. When are the kids with you and when are they with her. That's all there is to it. Add up the hours and figure it out as a percentage.

    You have to file a motion with the court to obtain orders on custody and visitation. That's how you get access to your child.
