What we offer

Services for families and counsel.

Six core services, all delivered with the same standard: child-centered, court-compliant under California Standard 5.20, and documented to a level family courts in Los Angeles County recognize and rely on.

On-site monitoring · 3-hour minimum

Monitored Visitation

01 / 06

A trained Standard 5.20 monitor remains present throughout the visit, ensuring the child's safety while parent and child share meaningful time together. Calm, neutral environments — never clinical.

• Three-hour minimum per visit
• Standard 5.20 trained monitors
• Trauma-informed, child-centered protocol
• Visit notes available to court and counsel

Neutral handoffs

Supervised Child Exchanges

02 / 06

Calm, structured handoffs so the child never feels caught between parents. Staggered arrival and departure times, separate waiting areas, and clear protocols.

• Staggered parent arrivals
• Separate, private waiting areas
• Documented chain-of-custody for each exchange
• Local exchanges available at flat rate

Longer & multi-child sessions

Extended & Complex Visits

03 / 06

Longer visits and multi-child arrangements coordinated around the order, the family, and the child's pace. Pricing scales with time; structure stays the same.

• Half-day and full-day visits
• Sibling-group accommodation
• Coordination with treating clinicians when relevant
• After-hours and weekend availability

Complex family dynamics

Experienced and High Conflict Cases.

04 / 06

Steady, compassionate support for families with complex dynamics. Warm boundaries, gentle protocols, and the same consistent documentation regardless of who is being observed.

• Predictable, scripted intake and visit flow
• Discretion and confidentiality throughout
• Coordination with attorneys of record

Subpoena available

• Additional time: $125 / hour
• Travel: $54 / hour

Family-court standard

Detailed Observation Reports

Objective, fact-based observation reports written to family-court standards and delivered securely to counsel. We document what happened — not opinion, not interpretation.
