[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If there’s a lockdown, will we still be able to to go out to pick up our kids from the other parent.[/quote]

Exactly. [b]This would be considered a true reason to be out[/b]. Hence no need to cancel.[/quote]

Who has confirmed that?

It is not the case in Italy. Doesn’t seem to be the case in France.

[i]Only necessary trips from home are allowed, for work, grocery shopping, exercise or health reasons; family and social gatherings are out.[/i][/quote]

I'm part of a divorced parent group with parents from CA. They have reported that the lockdown there leaves room for custody exchanges and several of those people had their lawyers urge them to keep their regular schedule. That doesn't mean that every lockdown order in the US would be the same, but it's not even in my top 10 worries right now.[/quote]

If it’s not in your top 10 worries, you are blessed. Some of us “coparent” with individuals who cannot or will not provide proper care for children under normal circumstances, but the courts set an extremely high bar for supervised visitation or loss of custodial time. As a result, even in normal times, we worry about long holiday weekends, Spring Break, and 2 to 4 week stretches during summer. Some of us know that the “coparent” has refused to follow even the simplest recommendations to prepare for shelter in place.  [/quote]
