Supervised Exchanges
Supervised exchanges may be appropriate in a number of different situations. In separated families where there is a great deal of conflict between the parents, a neutral place to exchange the children for parenting time makes access easier and reduces tension for the child. Parents do not have to be in contact with one another at the time of exchange and, therefore, do not have to be concerned with personal safety issues. The service records the parents' arrival times and records any potential safety concerns such as, under the influence of drugs or alcohol. If suspected, the parent or parents' parenting time may be terminated to ensure the safety of the child. The exchange service provides supervision only at the time the child is exchanged. Parents are required to provide their own transportation to and from the access site.
There are fees for cancellations of scheduled exchanges without sufficient notice.
