Supervised Visitation
Supervised visitation refers to contact between a non-custodial parent and one or more children in the presence of a third person (the visitation monitor) who is responsible for observing and seeking to ensure the safety of those involved. Our goal is to maintain the safety of your child while promoting a therapeutic, stress-free and enjoyable interaction with the visit of the supervised parent.
Custody Exchange Monitoring
This service allows the custodial parent to take a child to a pre-arranged, safe and neutral location. The non-custodial parent can then pick-up their child and return him/her to the same location once the visit is over.
