Santa Cruz Supervised Visitation provides a unique opportunity to spend time with your child in the community or in your home rather than in the traditional, office-based setting. We believe that all parents have strengths and want to do what is best for their children. Incidents arise that  result in it not being possible to spend that time alone with our children, often due to legal mandates. We seek to minimize the impact of that on your family by providing caring, empathic support.

Supervised Visitation

Supervised Visitation refers to the time spent with a non-custodial parent and one or more of their children, in the presence of a third person who is responsible for observing their interactions and seeking to ensure the safety of all involved. "Monitored Visitation", "Supervised Child Access", and "Supervised Child Contact" are other terms with the same meaning.

Supervised Transfer

Supervised Exchanges, sometimes referred to as "Monitored Exchanges" or "Supervised/Monitored Transfers", is the supervision of the transfer of the child from one parent to the other. Supervision is limited to the exchange or transfer only with the remainder of the parent-child contact remaining unsupervised. Most frequently precautions are taken to assure that the two parents (or other individuals) exchanging the child do not come into contact with one another.
