Possession and Access Services

If the court-ordered times of possession and access with your child are being denied or a parent is not following the possession schedule, the Domestic Relations Office may be able to assist. Our staff of attorneys, mediators and mental health professionals are specially trained and highly experienced with possession and access (visitation) issues.

Resolution involves each party looking at what is best for their children

This is a three step process. The first step is attendance at an online, live orientation. In the second step, the parties will participate in parent conferences where information is collected, the court order is explained and guidance is given. Resolution involves each party looking at what is best for their children. If there is no resolution, the third step is an attorney consultation and court intervention. The majority of cases are resolved through this process without court intervention.

To apply, complete an application under the Application & Forms section.
