Supervised Visitation Program
of East Texas CASA
Getting Together Safely (GTS) is here to serve the courts by providing an opportunity for a child(ren) to visit with a non-custodial parent. GTS is court-ordered and does provide a neutral third-party to monitor the visit(s).
GTS provides a safe, neutral and friendly place that encourages positive and comfortable interaction between children and their non-custodial parents. The goal of GTS is to aid families in working together to build or to continue to build a positive relationship.
Visits are done in a secure, comfortable facility and are closely monitored by trained staff. Security is on premises at all times and, if necessary, the monitor will intervene for the safety or welfare of the child/children. The center is equipped with toys and games to promote interaction and fun activities for families. GTS visitations are offered twice a month on Saturdays. Scheduled dates and times are determined by Getting Together Safely. Once the schedule is set, it will remain the same for each visit.
How the process works:
- Each client must call GTS to schedule an intake interview separately. Non-custodial parent must complete their intake first Please do not bring spouses or children to intake interview.
- Custodial and non-custodial parents must bring a court order stating the supervised visitation is to happen at GTS.
- Each client will receive detailed rules and procedures of the program during the intake interview and is required to sign an agreement to all GTS rules
- Upon completion of both interviews, the visits will be scheduled in accordance with the set GTS schedule.
- Visits will continue until such time as ordered by the courts, or one or both parties fail to attend, or GTS determines it is in the best interest to cease visits.
Fees:
$25 – Intake fee, (per party), subject to court orders regarding responsible party-Due at intake interview
$20 – Per visitation, (per party), subject to court orders regarding responsible party- Due at each scheduled visit
