Supervised visitation may be ordered by a court where the non-custodial parent:
" has a drug or alcohol abuse problem;
" has had trouble controlling anger;
" may have been involved in inappropriate sexual behavior with the child;
" engaged in child abuse, neglect or abandonment;
" engaged in domestic violence;
" has a mental illness;
" has a substance abuse problem; and/or
" as a criminal history.
The above list is not exhaustive, but gives examples of situations where a court might order supervised visitation.
Supervised visitation often takes place in a neutral location under the supervision of paid staff. An adult other than the custodial parent must be present at all times during the visit. The adult may be known or unknown to the child, and may be someone agreed upon by the parents or appointed by the court. In any case, the adult must be approved by the court ordering the supervised visitation.

The Florida Motion for Visitation at a Supervised Visitation Center is a legal procedure that allows a parent to request visitation with their child at a supervised visitation center. This type of visitation is often requested in cases where there are concerns about the safety or well-being of the child during unsupervised visits. Supervised visitation centers are facilities specifically designed to provide a safe and neutral environment for parents to spend time with their children under the supervision of trained professionals. These centers typically have rules and guidelines in place to ensure the safety of the child and to prevent any potential conflict between the parents. There are several types of Florida Motions for Visitation at a Supervised Visitation Center, each with its own specific purpose and conditions. Some common types include: 1. Temporary Motion for Supervised Visitation: This motion is filed when there is an immediate need for supervised visitation, usually due to safety concerns. It is often granted on a temporary basis until a more permanent visitation arrangement can be established. 2. Motion for Expanded Supervised Visitation: This type of motion is filed when a parent who currently has supervised visitation wants to request additional time or fewer restrictions during their visits. It may be granted if the court believes that the parent has demonstrated significant progress in addressing the concerns that led to the initial supervised visitation order. 3. Motion for Termination of Supervised Visitation: This motion is filed when a parent believes that the conditions that necessitated supervised visitation no longer exist. It requires the parent to present evidence and arguments proving that they are now able to provide a safe and suitable environment for the child without supervision. When filing a Motion for Visitation at a Supervised Visitation Center in Florida, it is important to provide detailed and compelling evidence supporting the need for supervised visitation as well as any relevant changes in circumstances since the original visitation order was established. It is recommended to consult with a qualified family law attorney who can guide you through the process and ensure that your motion is properly prepared and presented to the court.
