A:
It sounds like there has been a miscommunication between the magistrate court and the family court. If the magistrate judge gave you permission to continue your supervised visitation, you should provide a copy of that order to the visiting center and the family court to clarify your situation. It’s crucial to ensure all parties are aware of the permissions granted.
The visiting center likely put your visits on hold due to a misunderstanding or lack of proper documentation. Presenting the magistrate’s order that allows your supervised visits can help resolve this issue. Ensure you have all relevant paperwork and communicate directly with both courts to prevent further misunderstandings.
To avoid being found non-compliant again, it’s important to act quickly. Contact the family court immediately, explain the situation, and provide the necessary documents that show you had permission for supervised visits. This can help reinstate your visitation rights and prevent further cancellations.
