Shared Custody

Me and my Ex share custody of our 6 year old. He has him every other weekend but due to the school closures and working from home he was going to have him for a week next week but after lockdown has just been announced is this still allowed? They didn't stipulate on shared custody rules

I would say it's not allowed. Your child should stay at the house he's currently at.

I disagree as I think it comes under caring for a vulnerable person. Kids are traumatised enough by this without further disrupting their routines.

I don’t know the answer but I am wondering the same. My children live with me 4 nights a week and their dads 3 nights a week. If both homes are isolated are children allowed to keep their normal routine and stay at each??

This has just been clarified. Children under 18 can move freely between parental homes

Yes so for now... what if they are at the other parents and the situation changes and they can't be returned back to the RP. I don't know whether to let my son go or not now. We live 4 hours apart x

Micheal Give flipped flipped on this, this morning.

Yes, children can move between their parents houses. Wether people do it or not, is different.

I know exh is isolating. Just finished a 2 weeks isolation with our kids on Sunday after returning from italy. He is sticking to the rules very carefully

The kids came out of isolation on sunday and came straight to mine. I have been WFH for a week now. When they are here, they arent leaving. When they are at dads they arent leaving.

Theres no additional kids in either household, so will be doing one week on one week off.
