My Children are on a CPP due to the state of my house. Over last Summer, they weren't allowed to live there for two weeks but have been back home ever since. The house has continued to progress dramatically, I have co-operated fully, etc. etc.
Until they went to School Friday ten days ago, they were living primarily with me, EOW with their Father.
He said they had symptoms and said they were self-isolating. I actually believe he has been out but, if I take him at his word, it is up this Saturday evening. He has since said he was exercising his parental responsibility and not returning them to an unsafe house (a house which has changed hugely). We arranged contact through Solicitors' letters and do not have a Child Arrangement Order. Whilst Children's Services have explicitly said they cannot decide residency, and in spite of the fact his action was unilateral, they are also explicitly supporting what he has done. Although I have achieved something they highlighted as major, the goalposts seem to have moved: e.g. they major-ed on the non-working boiler; now that is fixed, they are saying that the issue is them sharing a room and the 2 metre distance rule.
As an aside, whilst I understand the self-isolation of the whole house, my ExH lives with his Parents, both 70+ and in vulnerable health groups.
As a sub-question, if CS tell me the Children should be in School if returned to me as vulnerable Children, should that also not be the case with my ExH (as the plan is for them not against me)? Can they force me to send them? Or, penalise me?
