Supervised Visitation Sample Schedule & Cost Example
See how a two-hour supervised visit may be scheduled and billed when arrival, departure, staging time, and travel are part of the service.
How to Use This Supervised Visitation Cost Example
This page illustrates one common off-site scenario so families can understand how court-ordered visit time, provider staging time, and travel may affect the total scheduled service. It is an example, not a quote for every case.
- Visit time: The example uses a two-hour court-ordered supervised visit.
- Staging time: Separate arrival and departure windows are included to help reduce direct contact between parties and support an orderly transition.
- Travel: The example uses a $30 travel fee. Actual travel fees generally range from $30 to $90 per scheduled service and are confirmed in advance.
For the complete current fee schedule, see Supervised Visitation Costs & Fees. To understand intake and case review, see How Services Begin.

Why is a two-hour visit shown as a three-hour service window?
The court-ordered parenting time in this example is two hours, but the provider is also scheduled before and after the visit to manage separate arrivals, child transfer, departure procedures, and staging. The amount of staging time required can vary by case.
Is $330 the price for every two-hour supervised visit?
No. The $330 total is an illustration based on three scheduled hours at $100 per hour plus a $30 sample travel fee. Actual totals depend on the court order, service location, required staging, travel, case-specific procedures, and any other applicable fees disclosed before scheduling.
