Q: My fiance's ex wife is keeping his son from him on his weekends due to the coronavirus. Is there anything we can do?
She is threatening him with child support court and saying he will be in jail all because he wants to see his son and she is scared he will catch the virus. She isn't allowing him to pick his son up this weekend and she didnt give him his 1/2 of spring break. This is not this first time she has changed weekends and told him to "get over it"
A: We are in new times with the coronavirus and people are scared and anxious. However, if the ex wife is going against the custody agreement then she could be help in contempt. I would suggest talking to a family law attorney and , if needed, set a court date to go in front of a judge and discuss the matter.

A:
Ms. Emmack is correct.
Whether he has child support issues is irrelevant. If has has a parenting order giving him specific times, he needs to enforce it. He can retain counsel and bring a contempt if necessary.
