Franklin County splits family cases between two specialized courts, and supervision orders come out of both. Our portal handles either: one intake, trained neutral supervisors across the metro, live scheduling, and a court-ready report within 24 hours of every visit.
Columbus custody matters route by family situation: the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas’ Domestic Relations Division handles cases tied to divorce, while its Juvenile Court branch typically hears cases involving unmarried parents. Both issue supervision conditions, and the distinction matters for your attorney — not for your logistics. Your coordinator configures the case to whichever court’s order is on file.
The metro’s visit terrain is solid: the Scioto Mile and downtown riverfront, the Metro Parks ring, Columbus Metropolitan Library branches that routinely win national awards, and indoor family venues for the slush months. Suburban cases — Dublin, Westerville, Grove City, Reynoldsburg — get locations that split the drive fairly, with an indoor alternate attached to every outdoor booking.
Where orders permit, virtual supervision adds midweek contact; with OSU and the hospital systems anchoring so many Columbus work schedules, the evening and weekend calendar is usually what makes court-ordered frequency actually sustainable.
Ten minutes with the order basics — either parent or an attorney, whichever Franklin County court issued it.
Order conditions, safety information, real schedules. A coordinator reviews the file and handles neutral outreach when the other side stalls.
Typical activation within 48–72 hours of both intakes. Saturday on the Scioto Mile books at the same flat rate as a Tuesday evening at the library.
Timestamped notes during the session; a court-ready report in your portal within 24 hours of every visit.
Our national published rate in Columbus as everywhere — no mileage across the outerbelt, no weekend surcharges, no report fees.
Same service, same supervisors, same report format. The courts differ in jurisdiction, not in what professional supervision looks like. Your coordinator configures to the specific order either way, and the documentation is built for both benches.
Yes — voluntary arrangements are welcome, and some parents use them deliberately to build a documented track record before a hearing. Intake works identically; the order upload is simply replaced by your written agreement.
