Supervised visitation is court-ordered time between a child and a parent (or guardian) that is monitored by a trained professional to ensure the safety and well-being of the child.
Supervised visits are often ordered when there are concerns involving domestic violence, substance abuse, high-conflict custody cases, or reunification after long separations.
The visiting parent and child spend time together in a neutral, structured environment. A trained staff member observes the interaction, ensures safety, and may take notes for court-required documentation.
Depending on the case and court order, off-site visits (such as in parks or public spaces) may be arranged if deemed appropriate by the supervisor.
