Winder, GA asked in Family Law and Child Custody for Georgia

Q: Covid 19 shuts schools down for rest of year, my ex says we can't switch to summer visitation until end of may.

During in session school period my days are every Wednesday afternoon to Thursday morning and every other week Wednesday afternoon to Monday morning. When school is not in session we are to halt that schedule and begin alternating Sundays through Sundays. Due to covid 19 schools have been such down for rest of year. My child's last day was March 13, 2020. My ex says we are not to switch to Sunday through Sunday until end of may and I'm missing out on time with my children. Should this time be considered summer break or am I to continue every other Wednesday afternoon to Monday morning?

A: This is not a summer break. You go by the original school schedule.

A: I agree with my colleague. This is not comparable to a summer break schedule since most, if not all, school districts have transitioned to virtual learning. The school year has not officially ended. However, some school districts have announced an earlier than normal last day of school. It is best to check the school district where your child attends for details.

I wish you well.
