You’re worried. No, scratch that. You were worried; now, you’re scared. You tried to talk to your ex, but (s)he isn’t listening. You sent e-mails. You texted, you even sent a few DMs, but nope, no response.
Before Covid-19 devastated the world, access visits weren’t an issue. You’re both good parents. So long as the children were happy, you were okay with whatever plans your ex had for their time together.
But we’re living in a Covid-19 world now, and you need to know that your ex is following Covid-19 safety protocols. You need some assurance that (s)he is enforcing physical distancing and paying attention to public health guidelines. You need to believe your children won’t end up in a hospital fighting for every breath because of something your ex did or didn’t do. As anxious as you are, what can you do? Your ex has access, and the courts are closed…or are they?
The courts will hear urgent cases, and the health of your children is urgent. In the case of Balbontin v. Luwawa, the mother reached out to the father repeatedly to ask him about safety protocols. However, the father simply refused to communicate with her about this important issue. The judge decided to suspend the father’s access visits until he answered the mother’s concerns about Covid-19 safety compliance.
If your ex is refusing to discuss Covid-19 safety concerns with you, please reach out to us for a free consultation.
