THE KIDS CHOOSE PINNACLE

Pinnacle Supervisors was founded based on the need for impartial supervisors that are focused on the wellbeing of the child(ren). We minimize/eliminate: miscommunication between the parties, fear that monitors that are aligned with one parent and inconsistent/unreliable supervisor notes. Pinnacle Supervisors aim to remove these issues so that the focus can shift back to what's important - happy, safe children. 

Supervised visitation is primarily to ensure that all parties involved in the visit adhere to the Court order. Sometimes the Court will order therapeutic supervision. This is not therapy. 

Therapeutic supervision is ordered to allow for a supervisor to intervene in behaviors, by parent or child, that are not aligned with the intention of supervised visits. Therapeutic supervisors are qualified differently than non-therapeutic supervisors in that they have a background in social work, mental health, domestic violence or substance abuse issues. Traditionally supervisors merely make note of what occurs during the visit and do not intervene if there are negative behaviors or court violations occurring. Therapeutic supervisors are trained to redirect the parties in a non-invasive manner that allows for the visit to continue and, hopefully, modify behaviors that may inhibit the child's relationship with the non-custodial parent.

Pinnacle Supervisors provides exchange monitors for custodial transfers. The exchange monitor can enforce court orders or a predetermined procedure along with documenting the exchange.

Pinnacle Supervisors will conduct home evaluations upon request or when ordered by the court. Home evaluations assess a parent’s home to ensure it is safe and suitable for children. Depending on the situation, our staff can either evaluate the home and produce a report or take a more active role by making suggestions and creating a roadmap with milestones to develop a safe, child-centric home environment.
