Supervised Visitation

Supervised Visitation & Safe Exchange

A safe, neutral setting where parents and children spend meaningful time together — and a calm, conflict-free way to hand off children for court-ordered parenting time.

Overview

What is Supervised Visitation & Safe Exchange?

Supervised visitation gives a parent the opportunity to spend time with their child while a trained, neutral monitor is present to keep everyone safe and to document what happens. It is often arranged through a custody order, a family-law attorney, or the Department of Family Services.

Safe exchange — sometimes called monitored exchange — allows separated parents to transfer a child for their parenting time without direct contact. Staggered arrivals and departures keep children out of the middle and reduce conflict at the most stressful moments.
