Q. Since the lock down effective 23.3.2020, can children still leave one house to see the other parent?
A. Whilst advice is changing quickly, the current advice is that children can still move between houses and should still see both parents, where it is safe to do so. Travel and exposure to others should be limited, so ideally with a car and a direct route, with no unnecessary stops.
It is therefore expected that unless advice is given otherwise, children act orders should still be complied with, unless other arrangements are made by consent.
Where an order is not place and children would usually see both parents, the informal arrangements to accommodate that time should also be facilitated.
