Providers of Supervised Visitation
The Court subcontracts with two non-profit agencies to conduct visitation services, through the Access to Visitation grant. If a parent is eligible for the program, costs for supervised visitation may be at no cost to the visiting parent. Qualification for participation into the program is determined by the non-profit agency. The Court does provide a list of supervised visitation providers located in Orange County.
