“Supervised visitation” means the court ordered contact between a non-custodial parent and their children in the presence of a third- party person who is responsible for observing and overseeing the visitation in order to provide a safe environment for the child and any other parties during the visitation.
The purpose of supervised visitation is to provide a safe and neutral environment for children to have and maintain a relationship with the noncustodial parent. It is often used in high conflict situations. Many courts take the position that it is vital to protect the child as opposed to leaving the child at risk while still attempting to preserve the relationship between the child and the non-custodial parent.
When the courts order a parent to be supervised, we are here to facilitate your visitation needs.
Courts sometimes order supervision for various reasons, during divorce procedures. Custody and visitation are a big issue. The judge must make an order which determines the custodial and non-custodial parent. This also determines the amount of parenting time for each parent to be with their children. The non-custodial parent is the visiting parent.
When there are complications in an order such as drug use, any abuse, domestic violence, child abduction risks, neglect, inappropriate behaviors, adult communications in presence of the child, utilizing children to negotiate with the other parent, unclean and unsafe environments, needing to reintroduce a parent who has been absent in a child’s life, etc. the judge may request that the parent needs to be supervised for a time while spending time with their child.
Parents may also come on their own asking for supervision to prevent issues and allegations in their court cases so there is documentation of what is and is not working within the relationships within a family. For instance, one party not showing up to visits or exchanges, one parent not allowing privacy in contact during a visitation exchange or phone and video visitations, one parent making negative statements about the other in the presence of the minor child, etc. So, our role is to document and or intervene if necessary to redirect and or stop the visitation or conversation to protect the best interest of the child.
