A: The short answer is: no.

The stay at home order in place in Ohio currently does not supersede valid custody/visitation orders in place. If you refuse to allow the mother her court ordered time, you could be found in contempt of court and subject to fines, attorney fees and possibly even ordered to give her more time to make up for what was missed.

I suggest consulting with an attorney to determine your best options.
