Supervised visitation in the Bronx

The Bronx is the only New York City borough on the mainland — and it has some of the best park space in the city, from Van Cortlandt Park in the northwest to Pelham Bay Park, the largest park in New York City, in the northeast. That matters for supervised visitation, because good visits need good venues: safe, public, comfortable for the child, and reachable for both parents.

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.

Bronx families and the Bronx County Family Court

Custody and visitation petitions for Bronx families are heard at the Bronx County Family Court — the borough's branch of the New York City Family Court. Custody issues raised within a divorce are heard in the Supreme Court, Bronx County. Our reports are formatted to meet the documentation standards these courts expect.

For more, see our Bronx County resource page.

The Bronx works well for city–Westchester families Because the Bronx borders Yonkers and lower Westchester directly, it's often the natural meet-up point for parents split between New York City and Westchester County — no bridges or tunnels required.
