Supervised visitation is child protection work

Parents who are separating or divorced often have difficulty facilitating contact between their children and the other parent. Each parent is not only entitled to, but also obligated to, have contact with their child.

This also applies if the separated parents were not married. Our expertise lies in protecting children and building or strengthening positive, reliable, and trusting relationships with both parents.

Relieve the pain of separation

The reform of child custody law, which came into effect in 1998, created an increased need in this area, for which we have developed a service. When professional supervised visitation is recommended in contested cases, the goal is to initiate, restore, or continue contact between the child and the parent with whom the child does not live.

The aim is to ease the children's pain of separation, to enable them to maintain their relationship with both parents, and to ensure their emotional well-being. Family court judges decide in contested cases and, for a limited period, allow supervised visitation.
