Co-Parenting During COVID-19

Posted by Gerald Williams

Various thoughts and concerns regarding how to co-parents during the COVID-19 pandemic, adapted from Justice A. Pazaratz, Ontario Superior Court of Justice, Hamilton, Ontario:

  1. The health, safety and well-being of children and families are the foremost consideration as co-parenting issues arise amidst the pandemic.
  2. An existing parenting order should presumably be adhered to and respected.
  3. Amid extraordinary times, however, everyone’s daily routines and activities have been essentially suspended in favor of social distancing and limited community interaction.
  4. Promoting the physical and emotional well-being of children calls for flexibility, creativity and common sense.
  5. Most co-parenting situations call for the continuation of existing parenting arrangements and schedules, subject to pandemic precautions including social distancing.
  6. A parent subject to self-isolation, personal illness or exposure to the virus may have to forego some custodial or parenting time.
  7. A parent who fails to take reasonable health precautions and/or recklessly exposes a child (or household members) to COVID-19 risk may be subjected to limited or suspended parenting time.
  8. Parenting exchanges require additional thought and planning as it pertains to social distancing and other safe pandemic protocols.
  9. Each family has unique issues and complications, many with no easy answers.
