Bridging Families

Located along the scenic coastline of Monterey Bay, Seaside is a vibrant and diverse community that values family, culture, and connection. While many families in Seaside thrive in a supportive environment, some face challenges related to child custody, visitation agreements, or court-ordered parenting time. Whether due to recent separation, family court proceedings, or safety concerns, families may find themselves in need of neutral, structured support to maintain healthy relationships between children and noncustodial parents. Bridging Families is proud to provide professional supervised visitation and monitored custody exchange services in Seaside and surrounding Monterey County communities, helping children stay connected with their parents in a safe and respectful way.

We understand that each family's situation is unique. Some may be following a formal court order, while others are engaging in supervised visitation by mutual agreement. Regardless of how the services are initiated, our goal is always the same: to create a child-centered environment where visits occur with emotional safety, predictability, and professionalism. By reducing conflict and ensuring court compliance, we support both parents and children through these important transitional periods.

All Bridging Families visitation monitors meet or exceed the requirements outlined in California Family Code §3200.5 and Judicial Council Standard 5.20. This includes a minimum of 24 hours of specialized training in areas such as trauma-informed care, conflict resolution, child development, cultural awareness, and safety planning. Every provider is TrustLine-registered and Live Scan fingerprinted, ensuring a thorough background check and compliance with California's legal standards. These qualifications offer families and the court peace of mind that every visit is conducted with safety, neutrality, and professionalism.

Our services in Seaside are flexible and community-focused. Supervised visits can be arranged in child-friendly public locations such as local parks, libraries, or other neutral spaces that support natural parent-child interaction. For families navigating high-conflict co-parenting situations, we offer monitored custody exchanges, allowing children to transition between caregivers without direct parental contact. We also offer virtual supervised visitation for families separated by distance, medical considerations, or transportation limitations. These virtual visits are conducted on secure video platforms and follow the same safety protocols and reporting practices as in-person services.

Each visit or exchange is professionally monitored and documented. Our trained providers create detailed observation notes, which can be made available to attorneys, family court professionals, or mediators upon request. These records help demonstrate compliance, support custody evaluations, and reinforce consistency in parent-child interaction. We also work collaboratively with legal counsel, social workers, and mental health professionals to ensure that our services align with each family's custody plan and the best interest of the child.
