 Off Site Supervised Visitation – Supervised visitation services at locations within the community.

 Off-site visits allow the parents to choose community locations such as:

Playground Restaurants Shopping Malls Local Park/Outside Interests Zoo

Museums Amusement Park Libraries Theaters Auditoriums

 Custody Exchange Monitoring – This service allows the custodial parent to take the child to a pre-arranged, safe and neutral location. The non-custodial parent can then pickup the child and return the child to the same neutral location once the visit is finished. The pickup times are staggered so that the parents do not have to be in contact with each other. The actual exchange of the children is monitored and documented by Parental Dynamics staff. Our staff always tries to make the process as comfortable for the child as possible.

 Overnight or Extended Visitation – Our monitors our available to travel and provide extended/overnight or visits between the child and the non-custodial parent. Monitors are available to travel out of state or country.

 Telephonic/Webcam Monitoring for Visits - This service allows our staff to monitor conversations between the child and the non-custodial parent to insure that the court order is being followed and that nothing inappropriate is being discussed.

 Certified Breakthrough Parenting® Instruction – This service provides parents from divided families with the tools they need to effectively communicate and to cooperate with their children. This program was developed by Dr. Jayne A. Major.  Karen Hukill is now certified to provide instruction on the Breakthrough Parenting® Method.  This method will assist parents on how to raise self-disciplined, communicative children who are good problem solvers, with enough self-esteem and trust so that a child can resist inappropriate influences on their behavior.  Effective interaction among separated parents is emphasized during the instruction.  The benefits of co-parenting in divided families and tips for creating a successful parenting plan are discussed.  Individual parental coaching is available, including in-home or on-site instruction.  Certificates of Completion and Letters of Progress on Breakthrough Parenting® Instruction are provided.

Will work in conjunction with Court Appointed Child Custody Evaluators, Minors Counsel, Social Workers and the Department of Children and Family Services upon request.

In-home child safety inspections- Our staff will conduct a very specific observation driven and information gathering report limited to the safety of the child in the home.
