Bubble with ExH help please!

[NameWithChange]

I am a single parent with 2 DC's. One is at home with me permanently as not well - not seen 'D'F for years and doesn't want to.

The youngest sees Dad a couple of times a week.

My DM lives alone and I would like to have a support bubble with her which would be a huge benefit to her and my DCs.

My question is can ExH have a bubble of his own too? Obvs one child would be going back and forth between the 2 bubbles which does not seem right?

Apologies if this has been asked already. Thanks in advance!

The advice as I understand it means that both parents can have separate support bubbles. I think it was one of the specific examples given on the BBC maybe?

Yes he can.

I saw them give it as a specific example too. Probably the only question that was given a sensible answer

Really?

That just does not make any sense to me at all. Does anyone have a link?

I think it makes sense as the rules have always allowed children to move between two households. This is just an extension of that as one single person effectively joins the household.

How could anyone choose which of the parents is allowed a support bubble anyway?

same way sharers have to choose

@Smelborp it's more than an extension of a single person as Dad could go and join a family bubble couldn't he?

As you and your ex have separate households you can have your own bubbles. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52998806

Yes that’s fine because kids have always been able to travel between two households. That will continue in your case but you’re forming a bubble with your mum under the new rules.
Ex h can from his own support bubble separately as a single person.
The risks are low all round
