Can you suspend visitation if it’s dangerous to travel? What if your Ex has high exposure to Covid? What if your child is going into the home of people you don’t know? What if your Ex’s state has more lax rules than yours? What if you are afraid for your family?
Yes . . Maybe . . . No . . .? There are no answers so here’s how to resolve these questions without the Court.
The purpose of quarantine and social distancing is about minimizing contact with others. Blended families are all about contact with multiple families and households and caring for kids coming from different places! How do you keep your households functioning like normal without providing the perfect environment for Covid?
Summer might look very different for your kids. There might not be summer camps, group sports, public swimming pools, or normal travel. Do you rely on grandparents or day-care during the summer break? Are you prepared for what covid-summer looks like? Do you have a plan for your kids in this upside-down world?
Do you have concerns letting your kids go to a state that doesn’t have any restrictions? Does it not make sense why your Ex wouldn’t want your kids to come stay with you when your state has a low risk and they can play summer sports and do normal activities? Follow these steps to come to a mutual agreement when different states have different rules.
Things with this crisis are going to be rapidly changing for some time to come. How do you re-negotiate new details about your kids every time there is new guidance or a change with this pandemic situation?
