The Broward Florida Supervised/Safety-Focused Parenting Plan and Instructions provide guidelines and instructions for parents undergoing separation or divorce to ensure the well-being of their children. This plan is specifically designed to address situations where supervised visitation or safety-focused measures are necessary for the child's protection. The Broward County Family Court offers different types of Supervised/Safety-Focused Parenting Plans and Instructions to cater to varying circumstances. These include: 1. Standard Supervised Parenting Plan: This plan is typically implemented when there are concerns about the child's safety during unsupervised visitation. It includes specific provisions that outline the conditions and limitations under which the non-custodial parent can have contact with the child. 2. Safety-Focused Parenting Plan: This plan prioritizes the safety and well-being of the child and provides additional precautions beyond standard supervised visitation. It aims to address any specific safety concerns that may arise from the separation or divorce situation. 3. High-Conflict Supervised Parenting Plan: This plan is utilized when there is a history of hostility or conflict between the parents. It includes guidelines and interventions to minimize potential disputes and ensure a safe and nurturing environment for the child during visitation. The Broward Florida Supervised/Safety-Focused Parenting Plans and Instructions typically encompass a range of key aspects such as: a. Schedule and Contact Arrangements: Detailed schedules for visitation, including specific days, times, and locations for supervised visitation periods. b. Supervision Requirements: Clauses that outline whether the supervision needs to be conducted by a court-appointed professional, an agreed-upon third party, or a monitored visitation center. The plan may specify the qualifications and responsibilities of the supervisor. c. Safety Measures: Provisions that address potential safety concerns, including restrictions on specific activities or locations during visitation, guidelines for transportation arrangements, and procedures for safety exchanges. d. Communication Protocol: Instructions on how parents should communicate with each other regarding visitation arrangements and child-related matters. This may include guidelines for written or digital communication and the need for a third-party communication platform. e. Decision-making Authority: Clarification on the allocation of decision-making authority for important matters, such as medical, educational, or extracurricular activities, to ensure both parents are involved in the child's upbringing. f. Conflict Resolution Mechanisms: Steps to manage and resolve conflicts between parents, including referrals to mediation or other dispute resolution methods, to minimize the impact of conflicts on the child. g. Revisiting and Modifying the Plan: Guidance on how to review, modify, or make changes to the parenting plan over time as circumstances evolve or when there is a need for adjustments to better protect the child's well-being.
