Illinois law calls it supervised parenting time, and Cook County families know how hard it’s been to arrange: agencies with waitlists, supervisors with weekday-only hours, winters that cancel everything. One portal fixes the logistics — intake, live scheduling, trained neutral supervisors, and a court-ready report after every session.
Chicago custody matters run through the Circuit Court of Cook County — its Domestic Relations Division is among the busiest family benches anywhere — while collar-county families answer to their own circuit courts in DuPage, Lake, and Will. Illinois orders speak in “parenting time” and “parental responsibilities,” and your coordinator configures the case to the order’s actual restrictions before anything books.
Chicago’s seasons run the venue plan. Summer visits live outdoors — the lakefront, neighborhood parks, museum campuses — while January moves everything into library branches, indoor play spaces, and family-friendly public venues. Your coordinator pairs every outdoor location with an indoor alternate at booking time, so a lake-effect storm moves the visit inside instead of off the calendar.
The city’s transit reality matters too: plenty of Chicago parents don’t drive, so El-and-Metra-reachable locations are a standard request we plan around. Where orders permit, virtual supervision adds midweek contact without a commute at all.
Online, any hour, either parent or an attorney — with the basics of the parenting-time order and the part of the city that makes sense for visits.
Order terms, safety considerations, schedules, transit constraints. A coordinator reviews the file and handles outreach to the other household, in writing.
Typical activation inside 48–72 hours of both intakes. Weekend slots on the lakefront cost exactly what Tuesday evenings cost.
Notes taken during the session with timestamps; a court-ready report in your portal within 24 hours, every visit, no exceptions.
The same two numbers we charge nationally — no winter surcharges, no mileage between the city and the suburbs, no report fees.
Yes — it’s one of the most common Chicago constraints we plan around. Visit locations are selected for transit access from both households, and where the order permits, virtual sessions remove the commute entirely for midweek contact.
We serve the greater Chicago area, and the case follows whatever order the issuing circuit court signed. Your coordinator configures to that order’s terms and schedules visits where the family actually lives.
