SUPERVISED PARENTING TIME
Guidelines
Cost: $30.00 hour IN the office
$50.00 hour AWAY from office
$30.00 Intake Fee per family (non-refundable)
Payment: Made by cash, check or money order prior to the start of each visit. Scheduling is contingent upon payment. Most court orders will outline how payment is to be made. If not, then the visiting parent will incur such charges until agreement is reached.
Scheduling: WTOP is open by appointment only. Visits may be scheduled daily including weekends. Court ordered, days and times will be followed unless previous bookings necessitate a change. WTOP may adjust the schedule at any time during services.
Logistics: The visiting parent must arrive 10 minutes prior to the scheduled visitation time. The custodial parent will arrive at the scheduled time with the child. The custodial parent must leave and return at the end of the visit. Visiting parties will remain behind for 10 minutes allowing the custodial party and child to leave our office without incident. All parties are kept separate. All parties must adhere to these guidelines as being on time is important for facilitating a smooth exchange with the children.
WTOP requires a 24 hour notice of cancellation. In the event of a same day cancellation, the canceling party will owe for the scheduled time of visitation or exchange. If there is a no show, the party who does not show will owe for the cost of the entire visit or exchange and will need to pay for the next scheduled visit in advance. There will be no exceptions made. Please note that the most important thing to remember is that the children are expecting to see the visiting parent and are often confused about why they are not there. If both parties fail to show, the entire cost of the visit will be divided.
If two scheduled visits or exchanges have been missed, the case will be taken off the schedule. Parties must then call to reschedule and pay all costs incurred before scheduling another visit.
