What is supervised visitation?
In some cases it may be appropriate for a parent to have supervised visitation with the children. In some cases, the parent may have a drug or alcohol problem, and if they have visitation with the children alone, then they could corrupt them. Moreover, in some cases, the non-custodial parent may have a conviction for a sex-related charge. In these types of situations, the courts will often order that all visitation must be supervised. Supervised visitation can take place at the locate county court house. The Sheriff Department will supervise visitation normally on the weekends. The courts only order court supervised visitation in the most extreme cases. There are only so many sheriff offices, and there are a limited amount of cases that they can supervise. Therefore, in the vast majority of the cases, the court will order that a parent or a relative of the non-custodial parent be appointed as the supervisor. Basically, this means that the non-custodial parent can’t visit their children
Supervised visitation programs have been established throughout the United States to help children victims of, or witness to, chronic domestic violence. Such centers provide a safe and neutral place for children to visit with a non-custodial parent during monitored exchanges or during court-ordered supervised visitations. First initiated by Safechild, Iinteract, and Wake County District Court, 12 organizations were drawn together to plan and establish a supervised visitation program for children in Wake County. In January 2001, Triangle Family Services was chosen as the lead agency to implement this program, and Time Together was finally opened in November 2002.
Supervised visitation means that the non-custodial parent may not spend time alone with the child. It usually also means that the non-custodial parent may visit the child at a particular time and in a particular place. Supervised visitation centers can be found in the various counties throughout the state.
