Obtained Parenting Time Restriction Against Negligent Father

For immunocompromised individuals, catching COVID-19 or one of its variants can lead to serious complications and even death. However, courts generally only prevent parents from seeing their children in extreme circumstances.

In this case, our client sought relief from the court to limit her ex’s parenting time because he refused to take precautions to reduce the child's chances of catching COVID. For this child, catching the virus could have dire consequences. In this case, our client believed restricting the father's parenting time was the only way to keep her child safe.

Our Family Law attorneys convinced the court that the restriction was in the child’s best interest. The court granted our request, ordering supervised visits for the child with the father, among other restrictions.
