As a family lawyer in the Constitution State, you likely handle child custody and visitation matters on a daily basis. Whatever either party believes or wants, and even if one or the other parent is concerned about the safety of the child during the visit, supervised visitation may be necessary to create a safe and happy environment where parents can maintain strong relationships with their child. If you need a neutral third party for child visitation meetings, please continue reading for more information on our Connecticut supervised visitation services for divorce lawyers.
Why might a neutral third party be necessary during supervised child visitation?
Most commonly, Connecticut courts order supervised visitation in cases where a non-custodial parent has, or the court fears the parent has, a problem with any or all of the following:
- Drugs, alcohol or substance abuse
- Anger
- Impulse control
- Domestic violence
- Sexual impropriety
As is the case in most other states, the focus of Connecticut’s child custody proceedings is to act in the best interests of the child. Regardless of how the child’s parents feel toward each other or what behavior they engage in when not visiting their child, the Family Court may still grant the non-custodial parent visitation rights.
What are the benefits of a neutral third party for child visitation meetings?
By using a neutral third party, the custodial parent can ease up on some of the concerns that he or she may have about leaving the child with the other parent. This is because the neutral third party will document any untoward actions taken or behavior exhibited by the other parent during the course of the meeting and report them to you and the other appropriate entities. At a minimum, a neutral third party provides some emotional distance between the parents without jeopardizing the child’s relationship with either parent. Seeing an ex-spouse can be an incredibly stressful event and a neutral third party can help avoid that.
