Supervised Visitation Program
Family Supervised Visitation
Quadruple Threats' Supervised Visitation Services are available for families residing within Lake and Mendocino Counties. We work in collaboration with the Lake and Mendocino Family Court System. We are centrally located along highway 20 in Nice California.
What is Supervised Visitation:
Supervised Visitation is designed to bring a noncustodial parent together with their child(ren) in the presence of a neutral third party called a monitor. The monitor is responsible for ensuring the safety of the child(ren) and adults during visits.
Why is this service necessary?
These services help reduce conflict between parents and provide a structured environment for visitation to take place. This service could apply to those who are meeting their child for the first time or after a long absence. This service can be important during times of family transition.
Why choose Supervised Visitation:
Supervised visitation services are essential for maintaining wellbeing of the child and family. Each visitation should be an enjoyable experience for both children, parents, and other approved visitors.
How best to initiate services:
Supervised visitation is mandated by a family court order. Once a court order is in hand, contact us to begin the intake process.
Fees:
Our supervised visitation services are FREE of charge.

Serving the under resourced
Getting started with us
We work on a referral basis through the Lake and Mendocino County Family Court System.
Once a supervised visitation order has been issued by the court, both parents will be expected to contact our program.
There is a four-step process to see if the program is a match with the needs of the family.
- Participants make initial contact and set up an intake
- Complete Intake (program application & all required documents)
- Resource review (identify family social supports)
- Schedule visitation (all parties must be in agreement)
Required documents:
- A current court order
- A current protective order (if applicable)
- A report of written records of allegations of domestic violence or abuse (if applicable)
- An account of the child(ren's) chronic health conditions (if applicable)
- Proof of identification
- Current picture of child(ren)
After acceptance to the program the final step is signing an agreement for services.
It is upon successful completion of this process that a family is considered a participant ready to begin services.
Visitation reports are a detailed report of what took place and what was said during the visit. Reports can be requested by courts, custodial, non-custodial and legal team members.
Services will continue abiding by the court order until another order has been produced replacing the original court order.
