When might a judge order supervised access?

A judge might order supervised access in cases where a parent is mentally ill, has shown a past tendency to violence, or is addicted to alcohol or drugs. It might sometimes be ordered in the case of access to a baby when the access parent has little or no experience in caring for an infant.
