[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. My ex lives out of state (a few hours drive) and usually sees DD every week for a couple days. We agreed that he’d stay home and she’d stay with me until things change, if that ever happens. [/quote]

Why not give him a week on week off?[/quote]

We talked about it and [b]agreed to respect the guidance to minimize contact with non-family as much as possible.[/b] He has two other kids and will be staying home with them in the state where they live. We felt that the drive to/from that city would expose him and DD to more non-family contact than we were comfortable with. They agreed to spend extra time on the phone, FaceTime, etc. and agreed to spend extra time together when the restrictions are lifted.

Believe it or not, not everyone has a sh*tty relationship with their ex. We just came up with a plan together that involved no travel for anyone at a time when travel is being discouraged. If schools remain closed through the end of the year but our families remain symptom-free, we agreed to make a plan for her to go to his place for an extended time, meeting halfway between so we didn’t have to stop anywhere.

If he is home, it makes sense for a visit.  Driving back and forth is not going to give you the virus.  You are denying visits. [/quote]

I think your answer is in the section I bolded. She considers her child's father to be non-family. [/quote]

And yet she has no issue taking money regularly. [/quote]
