We currently provide two (2) services. They are:
Supervised Exchange: Refers to the transfer of a child from the custodial to the noncustodial parent at the start of the parent/child contact and back to the custodial parent at the end of the contact. The supervision is usually limited to the exchanges, with the remainder of the noncustodial parent/child contact unsupervised. Exchanges may be supervised on-or-off the site, the location may be specified in the court order or it will occur in an agreed upon location between the parents and the provider. A supervised exchange may also be referred to as "exchange monitoring," "supervised transfer," "monitored exchange," "safe exchange," and "neutral drop-off/pick-up."
Supervised Visitation: A generic term that describes parent/child contact overseen by a third party. It is also a term for contact between a noncustodial parent and one or more children in the presence of a third person, in which the only focus is the protection and safety of the child and adult participants. Unless otherwise specified in this document, "supervised visitation" also includes supervised exchange services.
As of January 1, 2008, FAMNET limits supervisd visitations to two (2) hours per session. For those parents who wish to schedule more than two (2) hours of weekly visitations, multiple sessions (based on the availability of all parties) will be encouraged.
