Intake interviews are face-to-face meetings between a client and KidShare Staff. Interviews
can be conducted at any time but does require a pre-set appointment.
Call (210) 946-8524 to set up an intake
appointment. At
the time of interview, you will receive information on our policies and
procedures. |

|
The intake interview process generally takes from 30 to 45 minutes to complete. |
|||||||||||||
|
Yes. Both parties must complete the intake process before services can begin.
KidShare is not responsible for contacting the non-custodial parent to
set up the intake. If the non-custodial parent begins the intake process, KidShare will contact the custodial parent in order to start the exchange or visitation process as soon as possible. |
|||||||||||||
|
If I complete the intake on Thursday or Friday, can I get a guaranteed visit that same weekend? |
No.
Therefore, we recommend that that both parties complete the intake process
during the early part of the week in order for us to accommodate a visit
the same weekend. Exchanges are set up according to the court order. KidShare does attempt to make all reasonable accommodations to parents. |

|
The
application process fee is $20.00 per parent, regardless of who will be
paying for services. The
cost for exchanges is $20.00 per parent, per exchange. Both parents are
responsible for paying the fee, unless otherwise ordered by the court. Supervised Visitations are billed on a sliding fee scale, according to income and family size. |
|||||||||||||
|
Am I assured of not coming into contact with the other parent? |
Exchanges are timed in order to prevent accidental contact. |
||||||||||||
|
Yes, unless the person in question is specifically court ordered to not be in the children's presence. Any additional visitors must be pre-approved by KidShare before attending a visit. |
|||||||||||||
|
Can I use the supervised visits as an opportunity to discuss issues about the other parent? |
No. Any discussion of court proceedings, custody disputes, derogatory comments, or information pertaining to your case is strictly prohibited. Any behavior which causes undue stress, anxiety, fear, or physical discipline will be cause for interrupting or possibly terminating the visitation. The purpose of the visitation is to re-establish a bond or relationship and to interact with the children. Family Service Association offers a variety of counseling services that can assist you in addressing any of your issues concerning the other parent. |

|
Only the non-custodial parent may have copies of their visits with the children. All visits are strictly confidential unless subpoenaed by the court. |
