supervised visitation
Watched parental contact
Supervised visitation is a legal arrangement in which a parent's contact with their child occurs only in the presence of a neutral third party or at a designated facility.
Courts order supervised visitation when there are concerns about a child's safety, typically due to allegations of abuse, neglect, substance abuse, or domestic violence.
The supervisor—often a social worker, family member, or professional monitor—ensures the child's wellbeing during visits.
The judge granted him supervised visitation every other Saturday at the family services center.
