What are supervised visits?Courts decide on custody and visitation based on the best interests of the child. Situations where the courts do not favor joint custody are when parental contact is detrimental for the child in cases of domestic violence, sexual abuse, child abuse, abandonment or neglect. In these types of circumstances, the court may still allow the non-custodial parent visitation with their child, but only if it is supervised.SAFE & SUPPORTIVE VISITSWe at Supervision Monitors assure visits with the non-custodial parent are safe and non-threatening to the child.The monitor will be present at all times to observe the interactions between parent and child. Both parents must agree to adhere to the visitation guidelines at all times. Monitors will intervene if the interaction between parent and child becomes a concern. The parent will be instructed about what needs to change for the visit to continue. In rare circumstances, the monitor may end the visit and remove the child to a safe place. Police and Child Protective Services will be contacted if necessary.HELPING THE CHILD ADJUSTIn the US, almost 50% of marriages end in divorce.
