Cost of Services

The following rates are provided for transparency. Final pricing may depend on the court order, location, number of children, travel distance, scheduling needs, safety planning, documentation needs, and whether the service is on-site, off-site, virtual, or phone-based.

Intake Fee: $100.00 Per Adult / Parent

  • Required for all services.
  • Each adult / parent is scheduled separately.
  • The intake meeting is used to review court orders, safety concerns, service expectations, policies, scheduling needs, and next steps.
  • Each intake meeting is approximately 60 minutes.

Off-Site Supervised Visitation

  • Supervised visitation rate: $100.00 per hour.
  • Minimum 2 hours.
  • Travel fee: $30.00–$90.00 per scheduled visit.
  • Travel fees are based on the service location, travel requirements, and assigned provider.
  • The exact travel fee is confirmed in advance before services are scheduled.
  • Locations requiring extended travel may be quoted separately based on availability, distance, travel time, and case needs.

Written Report Preparation and Processing Administrative Fee: $100.00 Per Visit Covered

  • Hourly supervision fees cover live observation and internal note-taking.
  • Internal notes are not released unless required by the court, authorized under agency policy, or otherwise legally required.
  • A $100.00 administrative fee applies to the preparation and processing work associated with each visit included in a requested written report.
  • This administrative fee covers review of observation notes and relevant case records, report preparation, internal review, processing, and secure delivery.
  • The administrative fee is not a charge for purchasing or accessing the written report itself.
  • When one requested report covers more than one visit, the administrative fee applies separately to each visit whose observations and records must be reviewed and incorporated.

Example:
Preparing and processing a progress summary that covers four visits would result in:
4 × $100.00 = $400.00 in administrative fees.

  • Report requests should be submitted at least 7–10 calendar days before a court date.
  • Reports summarizing multiple visits, or requiring a formal declaration for court, should be requested at least 10–14 calendar days before the court date.
  • Rush requests may not be accepted. If accepted, rush requests may be subject to an additional fee based on urgency and complexity.
  • Reports are prepared from observation notes recorded during each session and are intended to reflect neutral, factual documentation consistent with California Family Code §3200.5 and Judicial Council Standard 5.20.

Supervised Visitation Cancellation Fee

  • Cancellations in non-emergency situations may be billed at the hourly rate.
  • A cancellation fee may be charged if a scheduled supervised visitation is not cancelled with at least 24 hours’ advance notice.
  • If either party is a “No Show,” the fee is 100% of the scheduled visit and must be paid before the next visit is scheduled.
  • Exceptions may be considered for illness, injury, or emergency with documentation acceptable to the Provider.
