Q: Quarantine for 14 days
Have 50/50 agreement with my ex. She has been exposed to several people testing positive and continues to take my son around them. Can I keep him for 14 days without being in contempt.
A: The Texas Supreme Court issued an order in March stating that parents should follow their possession schedules as if their children will still attending school. That being said, they have not issued a blanket order governing situations where one or both parents have COVID-19. Your best option is to try to work out an agreement with your ex. Perhaps you could offer her extra time after she clears her quarantine time.
