I’m Not Trying to Be Vindictive.
I’m Trying to Protect My Kids.
This isn’t about revenge.
It’s not about being difficult or trying to “win.”
It’s about safety.
Stability.
Sanity.
My ex is unpredictable.
Explosive one day, withdrawn the next.
Sometimes he shows up late.
Sometimes not at all.
There are substances involved, or rage issues, or both.
And now I have to send the kids off to spend unsupervised time with him?
That scares me.
So yes — I’m asking for supervised visitation.
Not to punish.
To protect.
If you’re in that same position — scared for your children, but trying to stay calm and do this the right way — you’re not alone.
I’m Steve Kaplan, a divorce lawyer in Colts Neck.
For 37 years, I’ve helped parents in Monmouth County request and secure supervised visitation when the circumstances truly require it.
And I’ve helped them do it without drama — with strategy, compassion, and clarity.
Supervised Visitation in NJ: The Facts
In NJ, supervised visitation is a safety tool — not a weapon.
Judges don’t grant it casually.
But they do grant it when:
– There’s credible concern about substance use
– A parent’s behavior is erratic, threatening, or unsafe
– There are domestic violence allegations
– The child is fearful, or resisting parenting time
You don’t need to be hysterical.
You need to be specific, organized, and clear.
