[quote=Anonymous]XH and I have 50-50 custody of our DS (5 and 10).  Since mid-March, XH has only left his property once, though he has had several socially distanced visits outside.

He refuses to take the kids for walks until there is a vaccine.  So with XH, kids are not getting exercise, fresh air, or "practice" with normal, less risky behavior.  In the meantime, my older son has been experiencing increased anxiety (much around COVID risks) and both kids have no social interaction outside of themselves and online stuff.  I take them for walks outside, which seems "risky" to my older son, though we follow conservative guidelines (masks, hand sanitizer, staying away from people unless briefly passing).

I don't think XH's extreme position is good, and that it is doing more damage to the kids (and him) than good given the very minimal risk of getting COVID outside when practicing mask-wearing and social distancing.

Suggestions on how to deal with this?  Other than taking him to court (not sure that would be effective anyway). [/quote]
