Children visiting their other parent?

[endofacentury]

What are people doing about their child visiting their other parent? My child's other parent lives in another town with his other kids and wife and I don't want her going there and mixing with them and then coming back to us.

He hasn't even mentioned it to me, but would it be unfair for her not to go when they can still FaceTime each other as she is a teenager?

Just for those who are citing the current situation as a reason to keep your children away from their other parent, even the latest guidelines specifically allow for children under 18 to be moved between households.

To make it easy - this is an extract from the text :
Where parents do not live in the same household, children under 18 can be moved between their parents’ homes

And a link to the official guidance:
www.gov.uk/government/publications/full-guidance-on-staying-at-home-and-away-from-others/full-guidance-on-staying-at-home-and-away-from-others

I have some skin in the game here as my ex has decided to keep our children with them, incorrectly citing the government guidance; funnily enough they had them when the initial restrictions came in last week (yes even before last night they were playing this game, and back then they were still going to work/children to school ...) I can't force the issue as that will only make matters worse and I, at least, have my children's interests at heart.

I guess, my point is, if you are going to keep your children away from your ex please don't hide behind the Government guidance, be honest. I doubt this will change the minds of anyone who is belligerently keeping their children apart from the other parent - but I hope you can understand why I felt I needed to say my piece.

Be honest and say you are worried and want to keep your child safe by not mixing households? Sounds reasonable. If they are with the other parents and someone in the household develops symptoms they would be required to stay for 14 days.

Marieo we've already agreed for her not to go. They are FaceTiming and her dad is fine with that for now
