Benefits of Supervised Visitation

​

 

Supervised Visitation is a valuable tool for families navigating difficult times. It ensures that children can maintain a safe and healthy relationship with both parents, while protecting them from any conflicts or issues that may arise. The benefits of supervised visitation extend to all family members, including the child, custodial parent, and non-custodial parent.

​

For the child, supervised visitation provides a safe and comfortable environment for them to connect with their non-custodial parent. It ensures that they are not put in the middle of any conflicts and allows for healthy relationships with both parents. Regular contact with both parents is vital for a child's physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

​

For the custodial parent, supervised visitation allows for scheduled and organized visits without the need for direct contact with the other parent. Visit times are staggered to eliminate any potential conflicts or intimidation. Parents can rest easy knowing that their child(ren) are safe and protected from inappropriate behavior.

​

For the non-custodial parent, supervised visitation provides an opportunity to maintain contact with their children regardless of any personal or interpersonal issues. The presence of a neutral third-party supervisor verifies that visits are conducted in a safe and appropriate manner, and eliminates the risk of new accusations.

​

Supervised Visitation is not a negative or stigmatized service, but a tool that can help families navigate difficult times. It is important to remember that the child's needs are always at the forefront of any decisions regarding supervision. Trusting a professional and neutral supervisor can provide the reassurance that all parties are safe and respected during the visit.
