When court orders supervised visitation, families need more than a room and a checklist. They need trauma‑informed supervisors who prioritize child safety, protect the parent–child bond, and provide clear documentation the court can trust. NFJ’s Supervised Visitation Program is designed to reduce stress for kids, support parents in showing up at their best, and create a safer bridge while cases move forward.

Behind every number in our annual report is a real child, a real parent, a real courtroom day that didn’t have to be faced alone. In just nine months, 516 families reached out for education, peer support, supervised visitation, or court navigation help—often after being told there was ‘nothing out there’ for them.

When someone blocks court‑ordered parenting time, it doesn’t feel like “just a civil issue” — it feels like your relationship with your child is being held hostage. This video walks through why custodial interference is so devastating for families, how it exposes a gap between what the law says on paper and what actually gets enforced, and what that teaches children about court orders and consequences. National Family Justice is working to close that gap by pushing for clear enforcement pathways and real accountability so parents aren’t left bouncing between courts, law enforcement, and agencies that all say, “That’s not our job.” If this has happened to you, you’re not alone, and you’re not wrong for believing the system should do better.

🚨 Rhode Island Legislation Alert – H7821 🚨

A new bill in Rhode Island, H7821, would create a rebuttable presumption that joint legal custody and shared placement (roughly equal time) are in the best interests of children when both parents are fit and willing.

This is a major step toward keeping kids connected with both parents after separation or divorce. But right now, the bill is being held for further study in the House Judiciary Committee and needs public support to move forward.

📣 RI residents: Please contact your state representative and members of the House Judiciary Committee and tell them you SUPPORT H7821 and equal shared parenting. Ask them to move H7821 out of committee and onto the House floor for a vote.

Our Shared Parenting Education and Planning Program offers one‑on‑one education and collaborative coaching to help co‑parents build child‑centered parenting plans outside adversarial litigation, when it’s safe to do so. Parents learn about child development and the benefits of shared parenting, create concrete schedules and decision‑making plans, and practice communication and conflict‑reduction tools with follow‑through support. The result is increased cooperation, less emotional and financial strain from prolonged court battles, and more stable routines that protect children’s wellbeing and preserve the parent‑child bond.

Family court should be where children’s safety comes first—not where systems “do their best” and hope it’s enough. The Children First Solutions Symposium: Bridging Law, Science, and Family is a four-day working event in Fort Smith, Arkansas, September 17–20, 2026, designed for professionals who are ready to improve what actually happens in and around family court. Hosted by National Family Justice, this Symposium brings judges, attorneys, mental health professionals, advocates, and policymakers into one shared space to walk through a real case, see what goes wrong in a “before” hearing, and then watch how the outcome changes when safeguards, risk tools, and best practices are put in place.

Throughout the event, a documentary film team will be on-site developing Who Killed John Mast, capturing honest conversations about parental alienation and systemic failure—so the work that happens in those rooms reaches far beyond a single symposium. If you’re looking for a place to trade business cards with influencers, this isn’t it. If you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and help build concrete, child-centered solutions, this is your invitation.

Stepparents often carry a lot of responsibility with very little support. Blended family dynamics, co‑parenting conflict, legal complexity, and “where do I fit?” questions can be incredibly heavy—especially when family court is involved. Our Stepparent Support Group offers trauma‑informed peer support and practical education so you don’t have to figure it out alone.

If you’re navigating a stepfamily role and need a space where people truly understand this experience, NFJ is here for you. Learn more at nationalfamilyjustice.org.

When a family case is filed, the first 90 days can either set families up for stability or lock them into years of chaos. This video breaks down what a child‑centered family court would do in that window: early triage to sort low‑conflict, high‑conflict, and high‑risk cases; real risk screening for safety and coercive control; and clear ground rules that protect due process instead of leaving parents in permanent “temporary” limbo. When courts get those first 90 days right, kids spend less time in crisis, parents have clearer expectations, and judges make more consistent, evidence‑based decisions. National Family Justice is working to turn this into a practical blueprint for lawmakers and courts, so “right case, right path, right time” becomes the norm—not the exception.
