Supervised visitation is a type of visitation where a third party is present while the parent spends time with the child. This arrangement is typically implemented when there has been a concern, such as substance abuse or family-related issues, or when there’s an agreed understanding or court-imposed order requiring a third person to be present. The supervising person can be a relative, such as a grandparent, uncle, or aunt, or even a family friend. In some cases, the visitation may occur at a public facility, where supervision is provided at a cost.
