Supervised visitation may be ordered by a court where the non-custodial parent:
" has a drug or alcohol abuse problem;
" has had trouble controlling anger;
" may have been involved in inappropriate sexual behavior with the child;
" engaged in child abuse, neglect or abandonment;
" engaged in domestic violence;
" has a mental illness;
" has a substance abuse problem; and/or
" as a criminal history.
The above list is not exhaustive, but gives examples of situations where a court might order supervised visitation.
Supervised visitation often takes place in a neutral location under the supervision of paid staff. An adult other than the custodial parent must be present at all times during the visit. The adult may be known or unknown to the child, and may be someone agreed upon by the parents or appointed by the court. In any case, the adult must be approved by the court ordering the supervised visitation.

Oregon Motion for Supervised Visitations is a legal document filed by a party involved in a child custody case to request supervised visitation for the noncustodial parent. In cases where the court deems it necessary to protect the child's well-being, supervised visitation provides a safe and monitored environment for the noncustodial parent to spend time with their child. Supervised visitation aims to ensure the child's safety during contact with the parent by having a neutral third party present during the visit. The purpose of this motion is to outline the reasons why supervised visitation is necessary and how it would benefit the child's best interests. There are a few different types of Oregon Motions for Supervised Visitations: 1. Motion for Supervised Visitation Based on Domestic Violence: If there is a history or evidence of domestic violence or abuse, this motion can be filed to request supervised visitation to protect the child from possible harm. 2. Motion for Supervised Visitation Based on Substance Abuse: If the noncustodial parent has a history of substance abuse or is currently struggling with addiction, this motion can be filed to ensure the child's safety during visitation. 3. Motion for Supervised Visitation Based on neglect or endangerment: If the noncustodial parent has demonstrated a pattern of neglect or has put the child in dangerous situations, this motion can be filed to protect the child and require supervised visitation. 4. Motion for Modification of Supervised Visitation: This motion can be filed if there has been a change in circumstances that necessitates a modification of the existing supervised visitation order. For example, if the noncustodial parent has completed a substance abuse treatment program successfully, they may request a modification to unsupervised visitation. When filing an Oregon Motion for Supervised Visitations, it's important to provide detailed and relevant information supporting the need for supervised visitation. This may include specific incidents, witness testimonies, police reports, or any other evidence that establishes the necessity for supervised contact between the noncustodial parent and the child. By outlining the reasons clearly, it increases the chances of the court ruling in favor of supervised visitation to ensure the child's well-being and safety.
