Supervised exchanges are child exchanges that take place in a neutral location present rather than directly between the parents. They are used when direct contact between the parents at exchange creates safety or conflict concerns.

Supervised exchange locations include police stations.

Under the Alec and Lydia Act, effective June 22, 2026, the victim of domestic violence cannot be appointed as the supervisor for the abusive parent's parenting time exchanges. This closes a gap in prior law that sometimes placed victims in ongoing proximity to their abusers under the guise of facilitating safe exchanges.
