If you’re involved in a visitation of a minor child, the need may arise where you need to request from the court for supervised visitation for the other parent. But what does that mean? In this video, we’re going to discuss just that. We’re going to talk about: what is supervised visitation, how does it work, and who can serve as the monitor, whether it’s a professional or a nonprofessional. And at what point do you need to bring to the Court’s attention and request for supervised visitation?
Hi, I’m Sina Mohajer. I’m a family law attorney practicing in Greater Los Angeles County since 2012. I’ve been a contributing member of the Los Angeles County Bar Association, and I’ve been rated by Super Lawyers since 2019.
What Is Supervised Visitation?
So, what is supervised visitation? Well, the purpose is to monitor the other parent when they’re with the kids to ensure the safety and well-being of those children.
Who Can Serve as a Monitor?
Who can serve as a monitor? It’s pretty open. If the court orders professional monitors, then it has to be just that. But if it’s a nonprofessional, then you can have any grandparent, aunt and uncle, or any third party that the parties are comfortable with to serve as that monitor.
When to Request Supervised Visitation
Now, what are some times where you need to bring to the court’s attention and request for that supervised visitation? Because the purpose is to protect the children, then we need to be able to show the court that the children need protection when they’re with the other parent.
For example, if they have a drug problem or an alcohol problem, whether they have anger issues, or if they’re negligent when they’re around the kids. It’s something to ensure that their custodial time with the kids are running smoothly and there’s no worry for the safety and well-being of those children.
