Supervised visitation in Dearborn — in the language Dearborn speaks

Dearborn is not a city that happens to have an Arab community; Dearborn is the city of the Arab community in America. From Warren Avenue with its restaurants and bakeries to schoolyards where you hear Arabic in Lebanese, Yemeni, and Iraqi accents, this is a city that lives in two languages. That is why we made it our home market: when one of its families goes through a family court case, it deserves a supervision service that knows the city and its people — not one that treats Arabic as a "foreign language."

Our service in Dearborn and the surrounding area

We serve families in Dearborn, Dearborn Heights, and the surrounding communities of Wayne County, with supervised visits in familiar community settings where children feel at ease: public parks, libraries, family restaurants. Our team coordinates the time and place with both parties in complete neutrality; the supervisor attends the session from start to finish, and the visit report is issued within twenty-four hours in the professional English format Michigan family courts and law firms work with — and we explain its contents to you in Arabic whenever you wish.

For families where the hardest moment is not the visit itself but the handoff of the children, we offer monitored exchange: the child moves from one parent to the other under neutral supervision, with no direct contact between the parties. Read the full difference between the two services before your hearing.

Family cases in Wayne County

Custody and parenting-time cases for Dearborn families are heard by the family courts of Wayne County. In Michigan, the Friend of the Court office plays a central role in custody matters: it assists the court with parenting-time schedules, support, and enforcement, and many parents deal with it more often than with the courtroom itself. If you receive a letter from that office, do not ignore it — and if the language is difficult, you have the right to request an interpreter for court dates, as we explain in our guide to your rights as an Arabic speaker.

Arabic is anything but a marginal language in Wayne County: it is among the most frequently requested languages for court interpretation in the region, given the size of the community, and local courts routinely provide Arabic interpreters when requested in advance. Your language here is no excuse to fall behind on any step of your case.

Why Dearborn families choose us

• Supervisors who understand the Arab household: the warmth of greetings, the role of the grandmother and the aunt, conversations about faith and tradition with the children — all understood in context and documented neutrally, not through a lens that does not know the culture.
• The visit happens in your language: unless the court order restricts the language of the visit, parent and child speak Arabic completely naturally, and the supervisor understands what is said and documents it accurately.
• Transparent pricing: a one-time $150 case setup fee, then $65 per hour — no hidden fees. Details on our pricing page.
• Strict neutrality: we represent neither father nor mother; we represent the child's safety and the honesty of the record. That is what earns our reports the trust of the courts — and of both parents.

Questions from Dearborn families

Can the visit take place near our home in Dearborn?

Yes. We arrange a suitable community location inside Dearborn or nearby, choosing first for the child's comfort and second for the terms of the court order.

Our relatives want to attend the visit — is that allowed?

We understand the standing of the extended family in our communities, but who attends a visit is decided by the court order and the agreed session rules, not by preference. If the order allows relatives to attend, we coordinate that clearly in advance; if it does not, following the rule is what serves your case.

We are a Yemeni / Lebanese / Iraqi family — do you understand the differences?

Yes — that is the daily substance of our work in Dearborn. Dialects differ and customs vary, and a professional supervisor meets each family as it is, without templates.
