A Message to Our Family Law Clients
Over the past week, our family law attorneys have been inundated with calls from concerned parents regarding custody exchanges in the wake of the Covid-19 virus crisis. If you have children who are subject to a Court ordered custody and visitation schedule, please follow the Court’s order unless there is some agreement between the parents to suspend the parenting time because of health concerns. Health department officials have recommended quarantine of any person in a household who has contracted the virus or come into contact with someone who is confirmed to have the virus. But, even in those situations that does not give you “authority” to not follow an order. It is with the consent of the other parent that you can feel comfortable in suspending the parenting plan until such a time as when parents agree that it is safe to resume parenting.
