Parenting Time, Supervised
Supervised parenting time, offered in an office setting by trained paraprofessionals or therapeutic staff, provides a safe and monitored environment for families navigating challenging situations. Our services prioritize the well-being of children by ensuring supervised interactions between parents and their children, promoting healthy parent-child relationships and ensuring child safety. To initiate services, families are required to schedule an intake appointment, complete a background check, and adhere to our guidelines for maintaining a supportive and respectful atmosphere during supervised visits. It's important to note that our services do not include court appearances or testimony unless additional retainer payment is provided in advance, allowing families to focus on the therapeutic aspect of their interactions without undue legal complications.

Supervision:
Throughout every visit, a skilled Supervisor will consistently oversee all interactions and communications between the parent and the child(ren). Subsequent to each visit, the center will provide an Observation Report detailing the Supervisor’s professional evaluation of the family’s interaction. This evaluation will encompass significant facts, observations, and direct statements made by the family. Additionally, it will depict the family’s conduct, level of comfort during the visit, and any strengths or concerns identified by the Supervisor. However, the center will refrain from making recommendations regarding adjustments to the duration of supervised parenting time.
Reporting:
If either parent requires a report outside of the Observation reports that are included for court purposes, a separate fee of $50 per report will be incurred for each request.
​
Court Appearances & Testimony:
If either parent requires a court appearance and testimony from the supervisor of the visitations, a fee of $250 plus travel costs will be incurred and payment will be due 7 days prior to the hearing. If the hearing is held more than 50 miles away, a virtual open will be requested for attendance or an an additional $150.00 fee will be assessed.
