In the past two years, COVID-19 has wreaked international havoc
and the challenges are intensified when it comes to governance of
parenting issues for separated parents.
While the unvaccinated have found creative temporary solutions
in the face of government restrictions by exercising at a home gym
rather than attending a favourite spin class or ordering delivery
instead of dining at one's favourite restaurant, a comparable
temporary option is not available for unvaccinated parents.
Unvaccinated parents without valid medical exemptions are facing
restrictions on parenting time with their child including temporary
suspension of all in-person parenting time until they become fully
vaccinated. Some restrictions imposed by the courts include
reducing the frequency and duration of in-person visits, ordering
in-person visits to take place exclusively outdoors and requiring
the unvaccinated parent and child to wear masks for the duration of
each visit.
