Question 1

What is supervised visitation?

Accepted Answer

Supervised visitation is a court-ordered or mutually agreed arrangement in which a parent spends time with a child in the presence of a neutral third-party monitor. The purpose is to ensure the child’s safety and well-being while allowing parenting time to occur.

Supervised visitation is commonly ordered in cases involving concerns such as domestic violence, abuse allegations, substance use, mental health issues, extended parental absence, or high-conflict custody matters. Visits may occur in public, private, or virtual settings, depending on the court order.

The monitor observes the visit, ensures compliance with the court order, and provides objective documentation. The monitor does not offer therapy, coaching, or opinions and intervenes only when required for safety or to enforce the order.

Question 2

How do I get started with Supervised Visitation?

Accepted Answer

Getting started with supervised visitation is designed to be straightforward and stress-free. Our team guides you through each step of the process.
First, contact All Smiles to begin intake. We conduct a brief telephone interview with each party separately to review the court order, answer questions, and explain the process.

Next, required paperwork is provided digitally and can be completed online at your convenience. Once paperwork is submitted, both parties attend a brief mandated virtual orientation that reviews expectations, procedures, and policies.

After orientation is complete, visits are scheduled in accordance with the court order — and the focus shifts where it belongs: allowing the parent and child to spend time together in a safe, supported setting.

Throughout the process, our role is to reduce stress, provide clarity, and ensure services are handled professionally and in compliance with court requirements.
