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.

Guam Motion for Visitation at a Supervised Visitation Center refers to a legal process that allows a parent or guardian to request visitation rights with a child under the supervision of a third party at a designated visitation center in Guam. It is typically used when the court determines that traditional unsupervised visitation may pose a risk to the child's well-being. Supervised visitation centers ensure the safety, well-being, and emotional stability of the child during visits with the non-custodial parent or guardian. These centers provide a structured, controlled, and neutral environment for the visitation to take place. Different types of Guam Motion for Visitation at a Supervised Visitation Center include: 1. Standard Supervised Visitation: In this type, the non-custodial parent is allowed supervised visits with the child under the strict supervision of a court-appointed third party. The purpose is to ensure the child's safety and monitor the interactions between the parent and the child. 2. Therapeutic Supervised Visitation: This type of visitation is typically recommended when the child and parent have a strained relationship or when the court believes that the parent needs therapy to improve their parenting skills. A qualified therapist or counselor may oversee the visits, focusing on healing and improving the relationship between the parent and child. 3. Monitored Exchanges: This form of visitation involves a third party, such as a visitation supervisor, responsible solely for facilitating the exchange of the child between the custodial and non-custodial parent. This is often used in high-conflict situations where direct contact between the parents may cause tension or conflict. 4. Supervised Telephone or Video Visitation: In cases where physical visitation is not possible or suitable, the court may allow supervised telephone or video visitation. The non-custodial parent and child can interact through monitored phone calls or virtual platforms, ensuring the child's safety and well-being. When filing a Guam Motion for Visitation at a Supervised Visitation Center, it is crucial to clearly state the reasons why supervised visitation is necessary, providing evidence of any potential risks or concerns for the child's safety. The motion should also propose a specific visitation schedule and request the court to appoint a qualified visitation supervisor or choose an accredited supervised visitation center. It is important to consult with a qualified attorney to understand the specific requirements and guidelines for filing a Guam Motion for Visitation at a Supervised Visitation Center and to ensure that all necessary documentation is properly prepared to present the strongest case possible.
