The Phoenix-area pricing landscape

Supervised visitation pricing in the Phoenix metro area varies widely. Based on publicly listed rates from providers operating in Maricopa County, the typical structure looks like this:

  • Hourly rate: $65 to $100+ per hour for the supervisor's time during a session
  • Intake / setup fee: $100 to $250 one-time, covering case file creation and intake
  • Monthly case management fee: $50 to $150/month at some providers — recurring regardless of whether visits happen
  • Session report fee: $25 to $75 per report
  • Mileage / travel charges: often added when the supervisor drives to a meet-up
  • Cancellation fees: common, often equal to the full session cost if cancelled inside 24–48 hours
  • Court appearance / testimony fees: hourly, plus prep time

For a typical family with two 2-hour visits per month, the combined cost at a higher-end provider can easily run $500–$900 per month once all fees are included.

How TruVisit Phoenix's pricing compares

TruVisit Phoenix was built around the belief that professional supervised visitation should not be financially out of reach. Our pricing is intentionally simple:

  • $100 one-time intake fee — paid once at the start of your case
  • $50/hour for supervised sessions or monitored exchange
  • $10 per session report — and the first two reports per calendar month are included free
  • No mileage charges
  • No monthly case management fee
  • No cancellation fees for advance notice

For the same family with two 2-hour visits per month: $200 in session time + $0 in report fees (covered by the free monthly allowance) = $200/month after the one-time intake. That is roughly one-third to one-half of what comparable providers charge for the same level of service.

How is this possible? TruVisit Phoenix is part of a 10-city national network. Shared training, shared protocols, shared back-office infrastructure — and a deliberate decision to keep pricing flat and predictable. We make our margin on consistency, not on add-ons.

What you should look for in any quote

If you're comparing supervised visitation providers in Arizona, ask each one:

  1. What is the all-in cost per visit? Hourly rate × minimum session length + report fee + any other per-visit charges.
  2. Is there a monthly recurring fee? Some providers charge this regardless of whether visits happen.
  3. Are mileage or travel fees added? Some providers charge mileage from their office.
  4. What is the cancellation policy? Cancelling 48 hours in advance should not result in a charge.
  5. What's the cost for additional reports, court testimony, or attorney communication?
  6. Is there a minimum session length? Two hours is standard; longer minimums significantly inflate cost.

Who pays

The court order typically specifies which parent is responsible for the cost of supervised visitation. In many Maricopa County orders, the non-custodial parent (whose visits are being supervised) is the financial responsibility. Some orders split the cost; some require the requesting parent to pay. The order controls.

Payment plans and affordability

TruVisit Phoenix understands that family court is expensive. If cost is a barrier, talk to our intake coordinator about a payment schedule that keeps your case moving. Our goal is to make professional supervised visitation accessible — not to add to the financial pressure of an already-difficult situation.

Hidden costs to watch for

  • Intake fees that recur — some providers re-charge the intake fee if a case has gaps in service. TruVisit's intake is truly one-time.
  • Per-incident report charges — some providers charge separately for "incident reports" on top of regular session reports.
  • Attorney communication fees — some providers bill for every phone call with your attorney. TruVisit includes attorney communication at no extra charge.
  • Document delivery fees — some providers charge to email or fax reports. We don't.

Frequently asked questions

Why is supervised visitation so expensive in some places?
Several reasons. Providers who operate from a single fixed office have higher fixed costs. Providers who charge mileage, monthly fees, and per-incident reports stack up the total. And providers who set their pricing based on what attorneys' offices will reimburse — rather than what families can actually afford — set high rates by default.
Are TruVisit Phoenix's rates negotiable?
Our standard rates are flat — $100 intake, $50/hour, $10 per report — and we keep them low precisely so we don't have to negotiate them down. If cost is a barrier, talk to us about a payment plan.
Will my health insurance cover supervised visitation?
No. Supervised visitation is a court-related professional service, not a medical service. It is not typically reimbursable through health insurance. The exception is therapeutic visitation, which is a clinical service and may be reimbursable through behavioral health benefits.
Can the cost of supervised visitation be deducted from child support?
Not automatically. If your court order specifies that supervised visitation costs are to be credited against child support, that's enforceable. Without that language in the order, supervised visitation expenses are paid separately. Your attorney can advise on whether to seek that language.
