We are excited to be offering supervised visits for families! We pride ourselves on providing a welcoming, neutral, ethical, and professional supervised visitation service to individuals and children facing visitation issues in a comfortable and relaxing environment.
Our priority is the safety of all children first. We take all necessary precautions to ensure their health, safety, and welfare are always put first. The decision to offer these services was based on the need for impartial supervisors that are focused on the wellbeing of the child(ren) in Southeast Texas. After numerous requests for supervised visits to be offered and the need being discovered, we added these services to our business. At this time, all supervised visits are in our facility playroom that provides options for the child and individual court ordered for visitation to do. Upon request, we can arrange outdoor activities at our facility as well. If court ordered to attend supervised virtual visitation, we can arrange that as well in our office.
WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU PRIOR TO INITIATING SERVICES:
In order to assess if we are able to provide supervised visits for your your case, we need to know the following information that you can provide using the contact form on our website or by emailing shy.seaman@moreheartandsoulcounseling.com
- Your Name, Email Address, and Phone Number
- Whether you are the Custodial Parent or Non-Custodial Parent
- What does the court order states in regard to your visits including: how many hours a week , how many hours a visit , if there are specific days/times for the visits on the court order
- How many children and ages of each child will attend the visits?
- Any special accommodations such as being deaf, special needs etc.?
- What county your court case is out of including judge’s name?
- Who is your attorney (if you have one)?
- Are there any specific rulings in the court order we need to be aware of?
- Is there a protective order in place for anyone involved in the case?
- Has anyone else provided supervised visits for you in the past or in this case?
- Is there any open CPS or criminal investigations pertaining to any of the parties involved including non-custodial parent, custodial parent/guardian, and the children?
Once we receive this information from you, we will contact you to set up an intake to go over the rules, policies, rates and any concerns or questions you have about the process. We will ask you to pay the intake fee should you decide to move forward and to provide the parents/foster/guardian contact information. Once the intake fee is received, we schedule the intake. How long the intake takes depends on how long it takes the court ordered party to pay the fee and how long it takes us to get all the required paperwork completed and signed by both parties in the court order. We do an intake with the non-custodial parent and the custodial parent as well.
