We now have the first case about interim exclusive possession of the Matrimonial Home and virtual parenting time during the Covid-19 lockdown.
We already know that Courts are prepared to deal with the urgent issue of a parent denying the other parenting time during this pandemic . We are now seeing the opposite: when necessary, Judges are also prepared to kick one parent out of the home and implement a virtual parenting time schedule for the parent who must leave.
We are all facing upheaval in our lives and daily routines due to #COVID-19, with the little ones perhaps feeling it most. They cannot see their teachers, friends, and cannot even go to the library. We are told to #StayHome and practice #SocialDistancing.
Does this mean that the children’s time with their other parent should be suspended too…you know…in order to keep them ‘safe’ and ‘at home’?

The marriage is over. You know it. You haven’t talked separation yet, or mentioned the D word, but it’s there, waiting…
It’s too soon to consult a lawyer, isn’t it? Not yet, not at this stage. It doesn’t seem right to call before you and your spouse have even had the conversation. That would be mean, wouldn’t it?
No.
