What is the Purpose of Supervised Visitation?

Supervised Parenting Time is for the purpose of protecting the child(ren) and parents while providing the opportunity for positive parent-child contact when there is alleged emotional, physical and/or sexual abuse (misconduct), parental alienation syndrome of the child(ren) and/or one of the parents. This includes abduction threats. Supervisors can document observed behaviors between the parents and children and provide recommendations for skillful and appropriate parenting when necessary for the
child(ren)'s comfort and security.

A Supervisor's primary responsibility is to work toward the safety of everyone involved in the visit, including that of a parent allegedly abused by the other parent and possibly endangered by the visitation contact.

Court Orders for Supervised Parenting Time should specify to whom the Supervisor reports (though generally, she or he is directly accountable to the Court, not to either parent.

Why is supervision necessary?

Many times, an objective third party is necessary to monitor a parent-child relationship in custody disputes. When people insist on using relatives or friends to supervise custody visits, it's difficult to get an unbiased opinion or report. A professionally trained supervisor is used to observe family relationships in dependency situations and writes objective reports of their findings. Past clients are referred by the courts, attorneys, The Department of Child and Family Services, therapists and Psychological Evaluators in need of additional information in determining child custody awards that reflect the best interest of the child(ren). Cases range from parental drug and alcohol abuse/addiction to accusations of child abuse, sexual molestation and parental alienation. In some situations, there is a flight risk factor.

Who are Court Visitation Supervisors?

They are individuals who have been trained in child abuse identification and observes in an impartial way, during the visitation of a non-custodial parent. The Supervisor is always in sight and sound of the child at all times. She writes reports to the Court regarding the visitation and testifies when subpoenaed to do so.

A neutral, qualified person, not a relative, friend, babysitter, domestic or any other trained or inexperienced person does Professional Supervision.

Professional Supervisors have knowledge of applicable laws, strong observation and communicative skills, and familiarity with contemporary children, child development, child abuse, partner abuse, family dynamics and assertiveness skills, as well as demonstrated responsibility and good judgment under pressure. In addition, they are responsible and maintain neutrality through unbiased observations, effective communication and assertiveness.
