With unprecedented social restrictions imposed due to the
COVID-19 pandemic, parents from blended families or parents engaged
in co-parenting arrangements may encounter a number of hurdles to
their normal weekly routine.
As shared care arrangements generally thrive in strict routine
environments, it can be difficult for parents to adapt to change
and communicate with their co-parent.
Hurdles that may arise and questions that parents may have in
this current climate might include:
- What do I do if a border closure between the states restricts
my ability to changeover the care of my children with their other
parent?
- What do I do if someone in my family home contracts the virus,
while my child is staying with their other parent? Can they come
back into my care?
