The current topic of COVID-19 vaccinations has polarised many
co-parents who are struggling to reach an agreement.
Most parents who are separated or divorced and sharing parental
responsibilities have an equal say when it comes to their
child's medical issues. This is unless there is a Court Order
for sole parental responsibility. The following tips can help you
find a way forward if you are disagreeing with your co-parent about
vaccination.
How can we reach agreement?
The first step is to communicate with the other parent to try
and reach an amicable agreement.
The best interests of the child must be at the forefront of any
negotiations. This focus can sometimes help negotiations and
facilitate a resolution between parents.
