Jayne offers the following high conflict divorce services to help you navigate your pre-, current, or post-divorce/separation situation:
Supervised and Therapeutic Supervised Visitation
During high conflict divorce situations, the relationship between children and one or both parents may become strained or severed. Supervised visitation is typically ordered by the Court to ensure children’s safety during these times. Research indicates that children tend to do best when they have reliable, safe, and nurturing relationships with both parents.
Supervised visitation is typically ordered by the Court to ensure children’s safety when divorced or separating parents are in high conflict situations. It is based on two premises:
- Children’s emotional and physical safety should always be guaranteed.
- Children do best when they have reliable, safe, and nurturing relationships with both parents.
Therapeutic supervised visitation might be recommended in situations where there is significant inter-parental discord or where the non-custodial parent:
- May be estranged or alienated from the child
- May have a mental illness
- May have poor parenting skills
- May have demonstrated a threat to abscond with the child
- May have or have had a substance abuse problem
- May have been physically, sexually, or emotionally abusive to the child
- May have problematic, harmful, or disordered interaction with the child
