Q: My ex has not allowed me to see my kids during the stay at home order in MN
Now she says I can only see them Outdoors and 6' away. I have a court order granting me visitation without stipulation other than date/time arrangement. I work from home and have not ventured out during this time. I think I should be allowed to have my kids in my home. Can she mandate this?
A: No she cannot and by doing so she is in violation of the court order as it applies to your parenting time. I currently know of no judicial officers who are suspending a parent's time with the children, or putting such drastic restrictions upon how and where it occurs, because of the pandemic. Your ex should be following the Court order. If she continues to fail to do so, you may need to ask the Court for assistance. I recommend speaking with an experienced family law attorney before you do so. Best of luck to you!
