Supervised Visitation Facilities in Massachusetts

On Behalf of | Aug 11, 2014 | Divorce & Family

There are occasions when a parent’s visitation/parenting time must be monitored in order to ensure the protection and safety of the child/children. The levels of supervision vary depending upon the facts of each situation. Some supervised visits may be able to take place in public with a supervisor monitoring off at a safe distance. Other extreme cases require the visitation to be in a secure facility with a monitor in the room and a police officer located outside of it.

Finding an appropriate supervised visitation facility may be a daunting task. Below are links to websites that provide contact information for supervised visitation facilities through the Commonwealth, with many of the links concentrating in Middlesex and Essex Counties. It is important when choosing a supervised visitation facility that you contact the facility directly to ask your specific questions and to see if they are able to address the concerns in your particular case. It is also recommended to go and to view the facility beforehand.
