SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Supervised visitation. States that any time supervised visitation is ordered, it shall be done in compliance with the following definition of supervised visitation:
"Supervised visitation" means contact between a parent and a child that occurs in the immediate presence of a supervising person approved by the court and under conditions designed to prevent any physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, threats, intimidation, abduction, or humiliation of either the child or the child's custodial parent or guardian. The supervising person shall not be any family or household member as that term is defined in clauses (i), (ii), (iv), (v), and (vi) under the definition of "family or household member" in § 16.1-228, nor in anyway financially affiliated with the parent subject to the supervised visitation. However, if the court orders supervised visitation pursuant to a finding that a child was or is being abused or neglected pursuant to subdivision 4 under the "abused and neglected" definition in § 16.1-228, the supervising person shall not be a family or household member as that term is defined in its entirety in § 16.1-228.
