What do I do in this situation???

[ABC123whatever]

Ex and I co parent our son. While I’m taking every precaution possible and following lockdown/social distancing rules, it seems he is not. He is still visiting family members (he said he’s seen both his mother and sister this week) his sister is still working. His mother is high risk.

Do deny contact and keep DS at home with me? I really don’t want to stop DS seeing his dad but DS is asthmatic and I fear him catching this virus.

DS is asthmatic

This is the crucial factor. You need to keep DS at home!

@juan

I completely agree. He’s going mental and said there’s no way I’m keeping DS away from him for months and months. I’ve also found out he met his friend for a hill walk yesterday!! He’s not taking this seriously at all.

Keep DS at home. What is your ex going to do? If he kicks off then any authority (police, SS etc) will agree with your decision when you tell them the reasons why.

Tell him it won't be months only 2 weeks if he self isolates...

Keep him at home. This is bigger than a contact order if your son is asthmatic.

Keep your son at home. His father is being very irresponsible. As well as putting his child at high risk, every time he returns your child to the house he is putting you at risk too.

Where I live, the police are stopping cars and patrolling people who are travelling to areas for exercise. I doubt they will share your ex’s viewpoint and I’d be really concerned if SS decided he was doing the right thing.

He’s going mental and said there’s no way I’m keeping DS away from him for months and months

Point out to him that you’re not keeping him away from DS. He’s keeping himself away because he’s putting his desire for a social life above his son’s health.
