When the court orders supervised visitation in Atlanta — what happens next

You walked out of a hearing (or you opened a court order in the mail) with three words that changed how the next few months will look: supervised parenting time. If you're the parent who needs to make the visits happen, you're trying to figure out who to call. If you're the parent who's hosting the visits, you're trying to figure out what your child is walking into.

That's where Peachtree steps in. Our entire job is to make the visit itself work — safely, calmly, and in a way that produces a written record the court can actually use.

What Peachtree does differently for Atlanta families

Peachtree isn't a one-size-fits-all agency model. A few things that matter here:

  • Child-First, not Calendar-First. Every protocol we use exists because of how it affects the child — not because it makes our scheduling easier.
  • Background-checked, every time. Every Peachtree supervisor passes a fingerprint-based national criminal background check and completes Peachtree's Child-First training before working a single visit. We don't compromise on who walks into the room with your child.
  • Flat pricing. $150 intake, $65/hour. No monthly case fee. No mileage. No surprise add-ons buried in the next invoice.
  • Same-day intake. If you reach us during business hours, intake usually starts the day you call. Standard first-visit booking is within 7 days; expedited options exist for parents who need faster.
  • Reports that don't editorialize. What happened, when it happened, who was present, what was said. The Fulton County Superior Court isn't looking for opinions — it's looking for facts. That's what our reports deliver.

Where we'll meet you in Atlanta

Atlanta is a city of neighborhoods. From West End and Grant Park on the south side to Buckhead in the north, from Old Fourth Ward and Midtown in the core out to Kirkwood on the east side, the geography matters when you're trying to coordinate a visit with two parents in two different neighborhoods. Peachtree supervisors come to locations that work for your family — not a single fixed office that requires everyone to drive to us.

The kinds of venues we use most often in Atlanta:

  • Public family parks with predictable, family-dominated foot traffic — Piedmont Park's playgrounds and Grant Park are the classics
  • The Atlanta BeltLine's Eastside Trail for walking visits with older kids, with plenty of snack stops along the way
  • Atlanta-Fulton Public Library branches with quiet kids' reading areas
  • Family-appropriate restaurants with booth seating that gives a child their own space
  • Indoor, air-conditioned spaces like Ponce City Market's family-friendly areas during the hottest and wettest months

The right venue depends on three things: your court order's conditions, your child's age, and what the child finds calming. We pick the location with you, not for you.

About Atlanta summers From June through September, the heat and humidity are real. Peachtree leans into shaded parks, library branches, and air-conditioned indoor venues during those months. A first visit goes much better when the child isn't overheated and overstimulated before you've even said hello.

The Fulton County Superior Court, Family Division

If your case is being heard in Fulton County — which is true for virtually every City of Atlanta family law matter — the Family Division operates from the downtown courthouse complex along Pryor Street and Central Avenue. Peachtree reports are written specifically to meet the documentation expectations these judges have. Objective. Timestamped. Filed in a format that doesn't require your attorney to reformat anything before submission.

Working with your Atlanta attorney

If you have a family law attorney, we'll work directly with them. Attorney communication is included in every Peachtree case — we don't bill for the phone call when your lawyer wants to talk through a report or coordinate scheduling. The same goes for Guardians ad Litem (GALs) appointed in Fulton County cases.

If you're representing yourself, we'll still walk you through the process, explain exactly what our reports cover, and make sure you know what to expect at every step.

Atlanta pricing — same everywhere

$150 one-time intake. $65 per hour for visits. Two-hour minimum per session. No mileage, no monthly fees, no surprise charges. That's the entire price list for Atlanta — and for every other city Peachtree serves.

How to start an Atlanta case

  1. Use the intake form on our home page. We respond within 24 business hours — that's the guarantee.
  2. An intake coordinator walks you through the case, takes the $150 fee, and pairs you with a supervisor.
  3. We coordinate the first session with both parties at an Atlanta location of mutual convenience.
  4. The visit happens. Your supervisor writes the report afterward and gets it to whoever your order specifies — you, your attorney, the GAL, or directly to the court.
