Child Access Transfer Centers

All research indicates that children generally do better in all areas of life if they have a close and continuing relationship with two caring and supportive parents.  

Child Access Transfer Centers allow children to stay close to both parents during the stressful time of family breakup.

These centers help the children of never-married, separated and divorced parents by offering a safe and monitored place for children to be exchanged between parents.  The centers cut down on the opportunity for family violence because they provide a monitored place for exchange.

Centers operated by the Children's Rights Council at sites around the country follow basic operational elements: 

We cooperate with the courts,

Establish centers in churches,

Set schedules for alternate weekend operations, prepare and issue        information and guidelines,

Recruit and train volunteer monitors,

Accept referrals from the court, attorneys and mediators, 
treat parents with respect, and provide a monitor log report to the court
