What types of supervised visitation can the judge order?
Based upon your request (motion) or based upon the judge’s own decision, the judge can prohibit or limit visitation if it’s necessary to ensure the safety of the child or the parent who is a victim of domestic violence.1 The judge can order any of the following types of supervised visitation:
- that the exchange of the child between the parents takes place in a protected setting;
- that visitation is supervised by an agency and the parent who is the “primary aggressor” pays the cost; or
- that visitation is supervised by another person. However, if it’s a household member, the judge must establish conditions to be followed during the visitation.2
