What quietly delays progress
Judges do not evaluate supervised visitation the way parents expect.
They are not weighing effort.
They are not evaluating intent.
They are not grading cooperation.
Courts assess patterns — built quietly, visit by visit, record by record.
Consistency matters more than explanation.
Neutrality must be demonstrated, not assumed.
Documentation becomes the record when memory fades and narratives conflict.
This is the lens through which supervised visitation is interpreted — long before outcomes change, and long after credibility is questioned.



Heart & Justice also provides supervised visitation services, which are offered separately and are not part of this educational platform.
