Supervised Visitation in Tampa, FL
Thrive Supervised Visitation serves families throughout the Tampa Bay area — Hyde Park, Seminole Heights, Carrollwood, Westchase, Brandon, and communities across Hillsborough County. Our SVI-credentialed monitors provide professional supervised time-sharing aligned with the expectations of the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit's Family Law Division. We meet families at parks along the Hillsborough River, neighborhood libraries, and other child-friendly spots around Tampa, so every visit is comfortable for the child and fully documented for the court.
Our Services in Tampa
Thrive brings its complete lineup of supervised visitation and family services to Tampa Bay. Every session happens in a real community setting — a shaded playground at Al Lopez Park, a children's reading room, a quiet waterfront bench downtown — never a cold institutional visit room.
Serving Tampa Family Courts
Tampa family law cases are heard by the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit of Florida, which serves Hillsborough County. Its Family Law Division handles divorce, paternity, time-sharing schedules, and parenting plan modifications, most of them at the George E. Edgecomb Courthouse downtown. When a Hillsborough judge has concerns about a child's safety during parent contact — or a parent is rebuilding a relationship after time away — the court can require that time-sharing be supervised by a neutral professional. Families on the Pinellas side of the bay fall under the Sixth Judicial Circuit, and Thrive can support cases from both sides of the bridge.

What Tampa Families Are Saying
"Our Hillsborough judge required supervised time-sharing and I had no idea where to start. Thrive explained everything, got us scheduled fast, and the visits at Al Lopez Park have been great for my son."
— Melissa D., Carrollwood, FL
"I refer clients to Thrive because their reports are objective and detailed. In a contested time-sharing case, that neutrality matters enormously."
— Attorney J. Whitfield, Tampa, FL
"The monitored exchanges took all the tension out of drop-offs. Professional, punctual, and my daughter is more relaxed than she's been in a year."
— Andre B., Brandon, FL
Supervised Visitation in Tampa: Common Questions
What Tampa Bay parents most often ask us before their first visit.
My case is in Pinellas County, not Hillsborough. Can you still help?
Yes. While most of our Tampa work is in Hillsborough County under the Thirteenth Circuit, we support families across the bay whose cases run through the Sixth Judicial Circuit in Clearwater. The supervision itself works the same way — we follow whatever your order specifies.
What does 'supervised time-sharing' mean in Florida?
Florida courts use the term time-sharing rather than visitation. When time-sharing is supervised, a neutral professional is present for the entire visit, observes the interaction, and produces a written record. The goal is to keep the child safe while preserving the parent-child relationship.
Where in Tampa do visits actually happen?
Wherever works best for your child and complies with your order — Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park downtown, Lettuce Lake Park's boardwalk and playground, a library children's area near your neighborhood, or another agreed public setting.
