What is supervised visitation?
Supervised visitation is also called supervised parenting time. This one is almost similar to the normal visitation of the non-custodial parent to his/her child.

Actually, the non-custodial parent did something which is unethical and doesn’t go with the relationship between that parent and his/her partner or children, which will be discussed below.

Basically, the reason for supervised visitation is, keeping the children safe when the parent visits them. The law always supports the child-parent relationship. For respecting that relationship, this supervised visitation is conducted. Here everything is conducted by the court. If a divorced parent needs supervised visitation, the court will order it and make it a part of the parenting plan. After that, the non-custodial parent will make a schedule for the supervised visit to his/her child with an adult(supervisor).

After that, you have to apply for getting the permission for supervised visitation. Then you need some paper works, and after that, if the court finds everything right, you will get the permission, but there you will get few things you have to follow.

First of all, you will get permission for supervised visitation for a fixed time. After that period, you will not be able to visit your child even if you want too much. If your supervisor gets nothing for being concerned in that fixed time of visitation, the restriction of your normal visitation may be lifted. Then after the final hearing, you will get permission to visit your child in the normal way.

The next thing is that you will only get access to your child; we mean to say the permission of supervised visitation when your child wants it. Otherwise, the court will not give your that permission. Here, the custodial parent has to provide all the required evidence that the non-custodial parent's visitation is in the child’s best interest.

Conclusion
