supervised visit

Observed custody time

A supervised visit is a scheduled meeting between a parent and child that takes place in the presence of a third party—typically a social worker, family member, or court-appointed monitor.

Courts order supervised visits when there are concerns about a child's safety, often in cases involving abuse allegations, substance abuse, or domestic violence.

The supervisor ensures the child's wellbeing and may document the interaction for legal proceedings.

The judge granted him supervised visits every other weekend.
