COVID and Custody

Coronavirus.gov for more information.

Of fear so the first thing i want to stress is that the stay at home or does not supersede your custody agreement it is not vitiated or or anyway- make it nullified so your customer is still in effect.

And just because you're afraid of your child being exposed to somebody out of your control if they're with the other parent it is not grounds for it you know defying a court order you're going to run the risk of being hit with a motion for contempt if you look.

At so i would not advise anybody to just take it upon ourselves to settle night.

Right with this court order but what i will say is that because different parents are are treating this lockdown with different degrees of respected severity that everybody needs to work together because we are cool parents and so.

Important that both on the same page towards what activities gonna do what kind of exposures they're going to.

Give access to our children.

And the project is refusing to censored.

And there's a- concern that the kids are being exposed to this virus then they have the correct course of action is to go ahead and file an ex parte.

Emergency custody petition the courts while clothes are still hearing those and receiving them so you will be able to go that route it is the only way.

To make sure you can.

Legally protected rights and your children.

But you file one it's still going to follow that the typical delays so you will.

Get a signed copy within a couple days and you will get a- notice of your hearing date within two weeks and so- it's not going to be like you gotta wait three months until all this is over so these will get her you will get some kind of answers.

That parents need to work together it's sort of one parent is sort of acting unilaterally without regard.

For what's considered showed the other side.

That's going to not be received through well so i would advise everybody hey.

This is about the kids so let's make sure we work together.

To keep everybody
