About Us
Ilene B. Fletcher is the Executive Director of Family Visitation Services.
Ilene has over 30 years working as a professional monitor supervising child visitation from cases in both the Family Law Court and the Dependency Court (via the Department of Children and Family Services) in Los Angeles County and surrounding counties. Ilene is highly trained and experienced in all aspects of visitation with Non-Custodial Parents.
Family Visitation Services is licensed and insured.
Our agency is regulated by the 2022 California Rules of Court's Standard 5.20, Uniform Standards of Practice for Providers of Supervised Visitation. The agency's priority is to provide for the safety of children during the visitation. The high-conflict situation that results from child custody cases arises from struggles for power and control, passion and wild emotions, impetuous decisions and rash behavior, poor judgment, a sense of panic, or from a cycle of abuse. What follows is intervention by a Court and an order for supervised visitation.
Monitoring requires the monitor to remain unbiased as a neutral third party and accurately report what transpires during the visitation. We value integrity and respect for all parents and children. Our monitors are also required to have a high degree of cultural competency. The vast majority of our monitors have many years of experience facilitating visitations with the Non-Custodial Parent.
