Child Visitation Services and Fees

We conduct comprehensive intake and screening interviews to understand the nature and degree of risk for each case. The procedures for intake include separate interviews with both the custodial and non-custodial parents before the first visit. During the interview, the provider will obtain identifying information and complete a signed agreement with both parties.

SERVING LOS ANGELES AND ORANGE COUNTIES
Here are just a few of the benefits of Supervised Child Visitations:
It allows the children to maintain a relationship with both of their parents, something that is generally found to be an important factor in the positive adjustment to family dissolution.
It allows them to anticipate the visits without stress of worrying or being overwhelmed about what is going to happen and to enjoy them in a safe, comfortable environment without having to be put in the middle of their parents' conflict and problems.
For the custodial parents:
You do not have to communicate or have contact with a person with whom you are in conflict or by whom you might be frightened, intimidated, or have a restraining order against. A neutral third party, can make arrangements, therefore eliminating the contact before, during and after the visits.
You can relax and feel comfortable allowing your child to have contact with the other parent.
For the non-custodial parents:
You can be assured that your contact with your child does not have to be interrupted, regardless of any personal dilemmas you may be experiencing.
If allegations have been made against you, which are often the case when supervision is ordered, you can visit without fear of any new accusations because there is someone present who can verify, and record through notes what happened during your time with your child. When using a professional service, you can also be assured that the supervisors are neutral and objective.
