Yes, you should be looking for an attorney that specializes in family law in general. Most family law attorneys deal in all aspects of family aw and child custody and visitation are just two of the subdivisions of the general term. Did you yourself start a proceeding for paternity and visitation (pro se as they call it) or did your ex do so? It is very wise of you to consider not representing yourself in this matter as they can get very tricky and out of hand. You want to make sure that you put all the facts down there and that you put your best foot forward in all of this. Good luck to you.

The attorney providing the answer was not serving as the attorney for the person submitting the question or in any attorney-client relationship with such person. Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved. Unlike the information in the Answer(s) above, upon which you should NOT rely, for personal advice you can rely upon we suggest you retain an attorney to represent you.
