This week I'm sharing my recommendations for co-parenting during the COVID-19 pandemic. If you're a member of my Facebook group or follow me on Instagram, you may have heard me talking about how there are no shelter-in-place or quarantine guidelines for divorced families, especially those with blended families. We are told to stay home or to shelter-in-place, but what is a quarantine when you have children spread out across multiple households?
The government can't necessarily mandate how blended families react to quarantine, but they can make guidelines. Unfortunately, I haven't heard one politician or infectious disease expert say a single thing about our demographic.
As it stands right now, co-parenting guidelines are simply, "Comply with your court orders." And, in many cases, that can be dangerous for everyone's health.
In this episode, I've put together some ways that co-parents can deal with the current situation.
Here are just a few of the topics I touch on in this episode:
