How would supervised visits out of state work? We are about 9 hrs away from BM and she only has supervised visits. How likely are they to allow us to have them up here in our state or are they more likely to have them in hers? Jurisdiction is still in her state until 6 months. But we don't really go to that state unless for court. All there schooling and special needs services are down here in our state.

What does the court order state exactly about the supervised visits? How often are they scheduled?
You may have to go back to her state to modify visitation to a more specific date/times/places. If your order really does not address this, then offer her time in your state in writing (return receipt in mail) and see how she reacts. Who supervises?

how long the visits are were left up to us, we normally did 1-2 hrs and did a visit every other week back in the begining but she has not had a visit with them for a yr now cause she had moved to fl and now she is back in va and we are in ky. she is taking us back to court to set the schedule more strictly and to try and get unsupervised. she has supervised cause they were taken from her by social services and founded of abuse on one and the threat on the other two, she pleaded no context and we got sole legal and physical. I was just wondering what are chances were of getting visits up here or if we have to go down there doing like a once a month thing at a center, i found centers in va and ky. We are talking about a 9 hr drive to and back just for an 1-2 hr visit in her state. our boys are special needs and also recieve services down here.

how does a judge decide supervised visits for out of state families esp when they are special needs. the distance is over 564.03 miles

we have been doing emails twice a week and webcam/im chat twice a week for 1-3 hrs ontop of that i made websites for her with updates and pictures where she can comment.

They should order the visits by you then since that is where they are... Find the info about the centers for court (sometimes you have to pay to use them). Offer her in writing once a month at the center XXX. Give her all the info and see if she tries to use it. Then when you go to court, you can show that you offered the supervised but she did not call and set up the appointment.
Good luck!
