which state do i file visitations in?

[wlf]

ok posted earlier on my situation. i went to legal aid this morning and asked for their assistance. they said with my child living in wv and always has and i live in nc that i would have to file in the state of wv for visitations.but i thought because the child support order is  here in nc and was started  by me then i would have to file here. which is right?

file for visitation in wv, as they have jurisdiction over child.

child support and visitation are two separate issues.
