What is the difference between Supervised Visitation and Supervised Exchange?
Supervised visitation means that all contact between the supervised parent and the child(ren) is under the direct eye shot and ear shot observation of the professional monitor from the beginning of the visit when the children are taken from the custodial parent to the end of the visit when the child is returned to the custodial parent. If the child(ren) is/are in contact with the supervised parent, the monitor is within eye shot and ear shot whether the visit is inside or outside. Supervised exchange means that only the actual transfer of the child from one parent to the other and back again is supervised. Both parents are allowed to have completely unsupervised time with their child outside the time of the transfer.
