Head of the family courts
Sir Andrew McFarlane says children should continue to visit parents they do not
live with, as long as both households are healthy.
Separated couples
exploiting the Covid-19 lockdown to stop an ex-partner from seeing their child
could face court action, says a senior judge.
Family lawyers told the BBC
they have been inundated with separated parents arguing over contact during
lockdown.
Some say parents have
exploited Covid-19 guidance to stop visits altogether.
The guidance for parents
who live apart states that children under the age of 18 can be moved between
their parents' homes after a sensible discussion, and an assessment that the
children are not being put at risk.
But for some parents, trust
and communication have broken down, and conversations over child visits can
seem impossible.
