What is Supervised Visitation
Supervised Visitation refers to the contact between a non-custodial parent and one or more children in the presence of a neutral third person responsible for observing and seeking to ensure the safety of those involved.
What is Supervised Exchange
Supervised Exchange is supervision of the transfer of the child from one parent to the other.
What is the Purpose
Both Supervised Visits and Supervised Exchanges are designed to assure that a child can have safe contact with an absent parent without having to be put in the middle of the parents' conflicts or other problems.
For the Children:
It allows the children to maintain a relationship with both of their parents, something that is found to be an important factor in the positive adjustment to family dissolution.
It allows the child to anticipate visits without the stress of worrying about what is going to happen. Visits can be enjoyed in a safe, comfortable environment without the child being put in the middle of their parents' conflict and/ or other problems.
For the Custodial parents:
You do not have to communicate or have contact with a person with whom you are in conflict with or you may feel frightened or intimated by. The arrangements can be made by a neutral third party (the visit supervisor) and there does not have to be any contact before, during, or after the visits.
You can relax and have peace of mind allowing your child to have contact with the other parent while making some valuable time to yourself.
For the Non-Custodial Parents:
You can be sure that your contact with your children does not have to be interrupted regardless of any personal or interpersonal problems you may be having.
If allegations have been made against you, which is often the case when supervised visitations are ordered, you can visit without fear of any new accusations. There is someone present who can verify what happened during your time together. When using a professional service, you can also be assured that the Supervisors are neutral and objective.
