Supervised visitation across Kings County

Kings County — Brooklyn — is the most populous county in New York State, home to roughly 2.6 million people. If your court paperwork says "Kings County," your case is a Brooklyn case. The borough is enormous and heavily transit-dependent, which means supervised visitation logistics turn on choosing venues both parents can actually reach.

TruVisit New York supervisors meet Kings County families at locations close to where the child lives. We don't charge travel fees and we don't make families cross the borough to a fixed office.

The Kings County courts

Two courts handle custody and visitation in Kings County. The Kings County Family Court in downtown Brooklyn — 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, Kings 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 Kings County custody case typically moves

  1. Petition filed — a custody or visitation petition is filed in the Kings 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
