If you are a parent who is involved in a child custody dispute, you may be subject to supervised visitation. Supervised visitation is a type of court-ordered arrangement between two parents in which one parent visits the child or children under the supervision of a third-party. This third-party is often a professional supervisor or a family member. The purpose of supervised visitation is to ensure the safety and well-being of the child or children involved.

There are many benefits to supervised visitation. For example, it can provide a safe and secure environment for the child or children involved. It can also help to ensure that the parents involved in the custody dispute are able to co-parent effectively and peacefully. Supervised visitation can also be beneficial in helping to ensure that any negative behaviors or interactions between the parents are minimized.

Supervised visitation can take place in a variety of settings, including in the home of the visiting parent or at a neutral location. The supervisor will typically stay with the visiting parent and the child or children at all times to ensure that all interactions are appropriate and safe.

If you are required to participate in supervised visitation, it is important to understand that it is not a punishment. Rather, it is designed to ensure the safety.
