Service Description
Offers specialized visitation services for divorced parents in high conflict situations. Visit the website for more information.
- Parenting Assessments – A judge may order an assessment to help decide the best parenting arrangements for children whose parents cannot agree on decision-making responsibility for their children and parenting time. A social worker will prepare a report with recommendations, which can be reviewed by both parents. If there is still no agreement, a trial may occur.
- Supervised Parenting Time / Exchange – A court may order supervised parenting time for a number of reasons (see website). This is a service facilitated by social workers and trained observers. The service depends on the court order and the family’s needs. Visits may occur at one of the centers located in Regina or Saskatoon.
NOTE: In 2021 Family law legislation changed the term “custody” to “decision-making responsibility”, and changed the term “access” to “parenting time”.
