Beware having to be placed on supervised visitation; it is very expensive, it's difficult to get into an agency, and even if you get into the agency, it's still fairly expensive. Having a third party which or who is not an agency supervisor is a good alternative. Preferably not someone who hates you? Attorney is seeing many cases where everyone thinks the parent should be supervised. Unfortunately, what usually happens is that it becomes a show and tell episode of fault finding. Attorney has seen this pattern relentlessly.  The goal of supervised visits is to improve the parent, not make him/her worse.  While no one is perfect, observation in public places of one who is watching their own kid will be skewed by each party because they are critical of each other to begin with.

Now that doesn't mean he/she may not explain the law, but seriously, how can just explaining the law point out each person's rights without an opinion on what is right? Clients usually don't know the law or their entitlement rights, that's why they hire attorneys; but hiring mediators that just settle cases doesn't mean necessarily that YOUR rights will be necessarily covered. Why? Well if a mediator doesn't tell you your rights then what rights do you have?  If a mediator can only point out things, because they do not actually  advocate for one side, you can hire your own advocate who will ONLY take your side for whatever position you have, explain the details, and explain (to you only) --- why or why not you might or might win a specific point? The adversary system is normally...
