Children’s visits during Covid-19

Children’s visits during Covid-19

I am worried about my child visiting his or her other parent because of Covid 19- what should I do?

Many parents are worried about this. There may be a risk to the child or to a family member by facilitating such visits during this public health crisis.

Visits between parents’ homes are permitted by the government’s “Staying at Home and Away from Others” rules dated 23rd March 2020 provided that they are in accordance with the other restrictions on movement. This does not mean that they must happen. Parents will be expected to follow public health advice.

Parents together will need to make a sensible assessment of the circumstances in their decision about what is appropriate.

The Head of Family Justice has stated that if there is a court order, alternative arrangements can be made by a parent with “Parental Responsibility” if this maintains the spirit of the order. This might include Facetime or Skype or telephone contact if the circumstances warrant this.

What our clients say

I have received such outstanding service from your paralegal Stephanie Docking I felt compelled to write to you to commend her. I have received such outstanding service from your paralegal Stephanie Docking I felt compelled to write to you to commend her. 
Prior to being Stephanie's client, I was experiencing an absolutely horrendous time with two previous solicitors regarding a complex DV case. Stephanie restored my faith in the legal profession by consistently and patiently demonstrating high professional standards, and providing clear, understandable advice in a timely manner. My case was highly emotive and very messy. Despite the complexity and chaos, Stephanie understood my situation and supported me in a kind and professional manner.
