How can a non custodial parent file for visitation?

The answer is - it depends. Were you and the custodial parent married, and currently separated/getting a divorce/already got a divorce? If you already filed for divorce, you can also file a motion for temporary timesharing, ask the judge's judicial assistant to set it for a hearing, and present your issues to the judge. If the parents were never married, and the "none custodial" parent is the father, was the paternity established? If not, you are a legal stranger to the child and not entitled to "visitation" (legal term is timesharing). Therefore, you need to file a Petition to Establish Paternity and Timesharing.
