Partner staying

Please could someone advise. My partner of 7.5 years do not live together. He has his children 50/50 and currently he and ExW are doing 2 weeks on 2 weeks off. My two DC live with me 100% of the time. On Monday his DC go to their DM for 2 weeks.

My question is can DP move in with us for the rest of the lockdown and when it's his 2 weeks with his DC they stay here with us all? DP will not be moving between houses but his DC will be moving between DM's and here?

No. The rules are very clear. You should not be seeing him in person at all.

Why would you do that? Why bring his children to a completely new home with a step parent and children in the middle of a global pandemic that has rocked everyone's stability especially children? Just because you want him around?

This is an absolutely terrible time to combine two households with children. I can't believe anyone thinks it's a good idea.

Thank you both, that was my thinking but I'm receiving conflicting advice from others 🙄

Partner moving in would be ok. And is in line with the advice. But I'd not be so sure about the children. Plus would it be fair on them emotionally.
