Domestic Violence
Supervised parenting time (formerly known as visitation) is contact between a child and adult, usually a parent, which takes place in the presence of a third party who is responsible for providing safety for those involved. Supervised parenting time becomes necessary for a variety of reasons, the main reason being that contact with the adult may present a risk for the child or other adult in a child’s life.
NDDSVC’s concern for survivors and their children compels us to establish a set of standards that centers offering these services should consider. These standards offer the minimum requirements needed to provide the highest standard of service and maximum safety to all involved at a reasonable cost. These standards are meant to be a baseline to which all centers are in compliance in an effort to provide safe and consistent services statewide.

Thousands of North Dakotans experience domestic and sexual violence each year. But together, we can change that. By giving to NDDSVC, you’re helping us prevent future violence and providing life-saving resources to North Dakota communities.
If you are in an unsafe or abusive situation, there are 19 domestic violence/sexual assault (DV/SA) victim advocacy centers across North Dakota that can help you navigate your options and stay safe. Each center is staffed with professionals who can help you with safety planning, finding shelter, obtaining a protection order, and more.
NDDSVC does not provide direct services to victims and survivors.
Contact a DV/SA advocacy center near you if you are looking for support. If you are in immediate danger, call 911.
