How Is COVID-19 Affecting Child Custody?
2
There is no doubt that the coronavirus pandemic
has significantly altered most peoples way of
life. If you are divorced or separated and have
minor children, then child custody arrangements
have also likely been affected. Emy Cordano
understands that these are challenging times for
everybody and wants to discuss the various ways
that COVID-19 can affect custody and visitation
arrangements.

Stay At Home And Quarantine Orders
Utah has been under a stay home, stay safe
directive issued by the governor, similar to stay
at home orders issued in other states. In
general, it is recommended that most people stay
at home and avoid any large gatherings. The
governor has warned that, in order for
restrictions to be lifted, people should avoid
going out of their homes unless it is for
essential travel such as grocery shopping or to
pick up medications.
STAY HOME
STAY SAFE

What happens if one parent does not trust the
other parent to protect the child, such as
maintaining social distancing or exposing the
child to infected partners or avoiding
unnecessary travel? What if one parent is
considered an essential worker or is living with
someone who is an essential worker and is
currently at a higher risk of COVID-19
exposure? These are all serious questions that
need to be addressed with a competent,
experienced attorney like Emy Cordano. While
parents should try to be understanding, and
remain flexible, the goal should be to ensure
that any children involved are not unnecessarily
exposed to coronavirus.

Will Child Support Be Affected?
Without exception, child support payments must
continue to be made on time regardless. However,
the coronavirus pandemic has caused major
disruptions in the economy and led to many people
losing their jobs. If a parent who pays child
support has lost their job, the only way to stop
paying child support or to modify the amount of
child support paid is to retain an attorney and
seek a temporary modification to the child
support order.
