Supervised Parenting Time

Supervised Parenting Time at Renew

Supervised Parenting Time at Renew provides a safe, structured environment for children to maintain a relationship with a visiting parent. We understand the importance of these visits in helping parents demonstrate positive parenting skills while ensuring the well-being of the child.

Parenting Time Plans & Agreements

A clear and thoughtful parenting time schedule, step-up plan, or agreement can help ensure that visits run smoothly and effectively. We encourage parents to have a plan in place that includes:

• The date(s), location, duration, and frequency of visits.
• Responsibility for visit costs, including the percentage each parent will cover if costs are shared
• A list of restrictions, as outlined in a court order or mutually agreed upon by both parties. As a neutral third party, Renew does not make decisions about restrictions; instead, we support the conditions set by the court or agreed to by both parents to ensure a fair and consistent process.
