Beyond the Parking Lot: Reimagining Safety in Child Custody Exchanges

For many families, the custody exchange is the most emotionally charged moment of the week. While the standard advice—meeting at a library or police station—is a starting point, it often fails to address the underlying psychological safety a child needs. A truly safe exchange isn’t just the absence of a conflict; it is the presence of peace.

The Limitations of Traditional "Safe" Spots

Standard advice often focuses on physical safety: “Stay in your car” or “Meet in public.” However, these environments can feel high-alert or sterile to a child. Furthermore, relying on untrained third parties, like a mutual friend or a teacher, puts an unfair burden on people who aren’t equipped to remain neutral.

A New Standard: The Mother Hen Approach

At Mother Hen LLC, we believe transitions should be a neutral, secure, and child-centered experience. Our mission, updated as of January 12, 2026, is to reduce conflict and limit direct parental interaction through a trauma-informed, non-judgmental framework.

Our Professional Services

We are proud to announce that we are now offering specialized support to our community through the following services:

  • Safe Drop-Off and Exchange: We provide a monitored, neutral location for custody transitions and no-contact parenting situations. Our staff provides observational documentation to ensure a clear record of the event.
  • Third-Party Transporter Services: Our trained professionals facilitate transportation directly between residences. We maintain strict neutrality and focus solely on safe, timely, and respectful hand-offs.
  • Parallel Parenting Support: For families utilizing a parallel parenting model, we facilitate communication through neutral documentation and platforms, respecting all established boundaries.

The Gold Standard of Conduct

To ensure every child feels protected, our program operates under strict safety standards:

  • Zero Tolerance: We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for verbal or physical confrontation, harassment, or threats.
  • Child-First Focus: There is no discussion of adult disputes or legal matters allowed during the exchange.
  • Reliability: Timely arrival and departure are mandatory to ensure the process remains predictable and stress-free for the child.
