Supervised visitation in Phoenix — a young community in a valley with room for everyone

Over the last two decades, Phoenix has welcomed thousands of Iraqi and Syrian families starting over in the Valley of the Sun. Amanah serves them — and every Arabic-speaking family in Maricopa County — with supervised visitation and monitored exchange, in Arabic and at published prices.

Phoenix's Arab community is young by American standards: Iraqi and Syrian families who arrived through resettlement programs since the mid-2000s, alongside older Egyptian, Lebanese, and Palestinian communities, and professionals drawn by the city's rapid growth. Families are spread between Phoenix itself, Mesa, Glendale, Tempe, and Chandler — adjoining cities in a single valley governed by one enormous county: Maricopa, among the most populous in America.

Our service in the Valley of the Sun

We serve families across greater Phoenix in all its cities. Supervised visits take place in neutral community settings — and in the scorching summer months we choose air-conditioned indoor venues: libraries, community centers, quiet family restaurants — attended by a professional supervisor for the full session, with the visit report issued in English within twenty-four hours, in the factual format Arizona family courts and law firms work with, and explained to you in Arabic on request.

Custody and visitation cases for residents of the region are heard by the Superior Court in Maricopa County in its family divisions, and a hearing interpreter is a free right you request in advance from the court office. Read our guide to your language rights — we wrote it precisely for people entering this system for the first time.

What sets us apart in Phoenix

  • Experience with refugee families: we know that someone who has started life over may be wary of every institution and every document. So we explain everything in advance, in Arabic, and there is no financial commitment before you understand the full picture.
  • Smart summer scheduling: early-morning visits or air-conditioned indoor venues when the heat passes every limit — the child's comfort always comes first.
  • Complete neutrality: we represent neither father nor mother; we document the facts honestly, and that is what gives our reports weight before the court.
  • Clear pricing: a one-time $150 case setup fee, and $65 per hour with a two-hour minimum — details here.

Questions from Phoenix families

We arrived recently and do not understand the system — where do we start?

Start by reading our complete guide to supervised visitation, then register through the portal, and our coordinator will take their time with you on the intake call, explaining every step — in Arabic if you prefer. There is no such thing as an "obvious" question with us; ask about everything.

Are weekend visits possible?

Yes — they are the most requested. We coordinate the schedule with both parties around school and work, within the court order's terms.

Do you serve the edges of the valley — Surprise or Queen Creek?

Our coverage includes greater Phoenix; enter your address when you register and we will confirm the arrangements during the intake call.
