Supervised Visitation and Exchange Services
in Santa Cruz County

From the beautiful beaches of Santa Cruz to the quiet mountain communities of Scotts Valley, Aptos, Capitola, and Watsonville, families across Santa Cruz County face unique challenges when it comes to maintaining healthy parent-child relationships during custody disputes. These situations often require the involvement of a neutral third party to ensure that visits between children and non-custodial parents are safe, structured, and emotionally supportive. That’s where Bridging Families steps in. We provide professional, court-compliant supervised visitation and monitored custody exchange services tailored to the needs of families throughout Santa Cruz County.

Our team of trained and compassionate visitation providers is committed to creating a safe space where children can spend quality time with a parent while ensuring compliance with all applicable court orders. All professional monitors at Bridging Families meet or exceed the requirements outlined in California Family Code §3200.5 and Judicial Council Standard 5.20. This includes successful completion of a minimum of 24 hours of specialized training in areas such as child development, safety protocols, conflict management, and domestic violence awareness. In addition, all providers are background-checked and registered with TrustLine, California’s official registry for in-home child care providers. This gives families and the courts peace of mind that their chosen provider has been thoroughly vetted and qualified.

We understand that no two families are alike, which is why we offer flexible visitation formats to accommodate different situations. Whether your case involves on-site supervised visits in a neutral location, off-site visits in community settings, or secure monitored custody exchanges at agreed-upon locations, we aim to provide consistent structure and accountability. Our services are available throughout the region, including Santa Cruz, Aptos, Watsonville, Soquel, Capitola, Felton, and surrounding areas. We also offer virtual supervised visitation via Zoom for families who require remote solutions due to location, safety concerns, or health-related limitations.

At Bridging Families, we emphasize respectful communication, child-focused supervision, and detailed documentation of every visit, which can be made available to the court when required. We work collaboratively with attorneys, family courts, mediators, and social workers to ensure that all visitation plans are compliant and in the best interest of the child.
