Supervised visitation across Bronx County

Bronx County and the borough of the Bronx are the same place — roughly 1.4 million residents, and the only part of New York City on the mainland. If your court paperwork says "Bronx County," your case is a Bronx case. The borough has exceptional park space for family visits, from Van Cortlandt Park to Pelham Bay Park, the largest park in the city.

TruVisit New York supervisors meet Bronx families at locations close to where the child lives. We don't charge travel fees and we don't operate from a single fixed office.

The Bronx County courts

Two courts handle custody and visitation in Bronx County. The Bronx County Family Court — the borough's branch of the New York City Family Court — hears custody and visitation petitions, family offense proceedings, and related matters. The Supreme Court, Bronx County hears divorces, and decides custody and parenting time within those cases.

Our session reports are formatted in the objective, non-editorial, timestamped style these courts expect. They're designed to be filed with the court, delivered to your attorney, or shared with the Attorney for the Child.

How a Bronx County custody case typically moves

  1. Petition filed — a custody or visitation petition is filed in the Bronx County Family Court (petitions are generally filed in the county where the child lives), or custody is raised within a divorce in Supreme Court.
  2. Service and first appearance — the other parent is served and both parties appear before a judge or court attorney-referee.
  3. Attorney for the Child — the court may appoint an Attorney for the Child (AFC) to represent the child in the case.
  4. Temporary orders — interim custody and parenting-time arrangements while the case is pending. Supervised visitation is often ordered at this stage.
  5. Fact-finding — testimony and evidence in contested cases; the court may order forensic or other evaluations.
  6. Final order — decided on the best interests of the child.
  7. Modification — either parent can later petition to change the order based on a change in circumstances.

Where supervised visitation enters the process

  • At temporary orders — interim supervised parenting time while the case is pending
  • In the final custody and visitation order — longer-term supervised parenting time
  • By modification petition — adding or stepping down supervision in an existing order
  • In family offense proceedings — alongside an order of protection
  • By stipulation — the parents agree to supervision and the court so-orders it

Bronx cases often cross the Westchester line Because Bronx County borders Yonkers and Mount Vernon directly, many families here have one parent in the city and one in Westchester. We supervise on both sides of the line, so the venue can simply be whatever is best for the child.
