If he is planning to take the kids out of the country in October won't they need to be vaccinated really soon?  If they get Pfizer it is three weeks between the two shots then two weeks to be fully vaccinated.  Maybe tell him he has to get them vaccinated to leave the country.[/quote]

Not all countries require the vaccine;  many only require a negative test.  [/quote]

New poster. I'm glad to see someone (first PP above) noticed the comment OP made about the DH taking them out of the country. No no no no.

OP, see if the State Dept. has "do not travel" restrictions on the country he plans to visit with the kids; you'd be surprised. Right now Americans are formally discouraged by State to travel to the UK, for instance.

Most of all if he plans to travel in October, plus school is starting most places VERY soon-- I would really get your attorney involved first thing Monday and see if you can get an emergency order of some sort. I would ask the attorney if the kids' clear statements they wish to be vaccinated could be used to get an emergency order if school is X days away. Also use the idea of internaitonal travel as leverage here. You'd need a sympathetic judge though. Talk to an attorney ASAP.

Your ex is actually endangering your kids' lives and by extension your life too. Though you're vaccinated, breakthrough infections are a real thing, and if one of your kids were unvaccinated and got sick with Delta, the viral load on you as a caregiver could still be enough for breakthrough infection to you. Not to mention that young adults and teens now are becoming very sick, much sicker than with the original variant, due to Delta. Look at how Florida's young adults and older teens are the ones ending up in hospitals. this won't matter to your horror of an ex but might be an argument a lawyer could craft for a judge.

I would say get them vaxxed behind his back and the hell with him but it sounds as if he  would make it litigious and frankly he sounds like the type to try to wrest away custody or otherwise punish you and them badly if you get sneak vaccines. But that's why I'd see if you can get an emergency order of some sort.

The international travel is an insane choice right now vaxxed or not. All our family is in Europe and we're vaxxed and still not traveling at ALL. Other countries are doing worse than we are at vaccinations and getting people to mask and distance as needed. Can you in any way prevent this trip?

I really wish I could magically rearrange things so your DH had zero say in medical or any other decisions. I hate him on your and your kids' behalf. [/quote]
