At Grandmas Supervised Visitation Monitors & Mediation Services (GSVMS), we understand how emotional and complex custody, visitation, and parenting plans can be. You deserve clarity, confidence, and a thoughtful approach to deciding what to include in your custody order or parenting plan. That’s why we created C.A.R.E. — Custody Awareness & Responsive Empowerment — a structured support program that helps you think through your options, understand the potential pros and cons, and make informed decisions tailored to your family’s needs.

​

Instead of telling you what to do, C.A.R.E. guides you through key areas such as:

​

• Possible custody and parenting time arrangements and how each might impact your family routine.

• Decision-making responsibilities like education, healthcare, and daily care planning.

• Communication strategies with the other parent that promote your child’s stability and minimize conflict.

• Comparing options side by side so you can evaluate strengths and challenges of each approach.

• ​

C.A.R.E. gives you the tools to weigh choices effectively and confidently select the elements you want to include in your plan and present them in mediation or court, all while helping you think through real-world impacts for your child and family.

At GSVMS, we aim to empower you with clarity and confidence as you prepare for custody planning, so you can make choices that are informed, thoughtful, and supportive of your child’s well-being.
