Typical South Carolina pricing

Private supervised visitation providers serving South Carolina's metro areas — Columbia, Charleston, Greenville, Rock Hill, Myrtle Beach, Spartanburg — commonly charge $75 to $125 per hour, plus an intake or setup fee that can run $100–$250. Therapeutic visitation with a licensed clinician costs substantially more. Nonprofit and court-connected programs can be cheaper but typically have waitlists, limited hours, and facility-only visits.

The fees that don't make the ads

  • Report fees — $25–$50 per written report is common, and reports are the whole point
  • Monthly case management fees — $50–$150/month just to keep the file open
  • Mileage and travel charges — per-mile billing adds up fast in a spread-out state
  • Cancellation and rescheduling fees
  • Court preparation or records fees when your attorney needs the file

When you compare providers, ask for the complete fee schedule in writing and price a realistic month: two sessions, two reports, plus any recurring fees.

Who pays in South Carolina?

The Family Court order controls. Many orders assign supervision costs to the parent whose time is supervised; others split costs, sometimes in proportion to income. If your order is silent, the parties need to agree or ask the court to allocate it. Payment responsibility is worth resolving explicitly at the temporary hearing — cost disputes are one of the most common reasons supervision plans stall.

Keeping costs down

  • Match session length to the order — don't pay for four hours when the order calls for two
  • Use the included reports — with TruVisit, two visits a month means report costs of zero
  • Avoid no-shows and late cancellations, which waste session minimums with any provider
  • Where the order permits, virtual supervision can reduce costs for long-distance parents
