I have sole legal/physical custody of my 4 year old daughter. Her father lives on Seymour AFB (1.5 hours away) where there has been at least 1 positive case of coronavirus. In our home, we have followed the CDC recommendations for social distancing, and kept our children away from friends/family 100%. My fiancé and I are also only going out for essential things, being sure to clean/sanitize ourselves when we return. My daughters father is not taking the virus seriously, posting thing on social media like it’s a “common cold”, and is still having friends over to his home for gatherings, and to drink. Do I have the right to withhold her during this time for safety reasons? We have already cancelled her lunch visit set to happen last Thursday, but it also seems incredibly risky for her to go there when he is not taking things seriously. During her last visit, while these guidelines were starting to be implemented, photos were posted of one of his friends wrestling around with my daughter.
If there's a family court order that entitles your child's father to visitation, then you can't unilaterally change that court order. If you have reason to seek a modification due to the pandemic virus, you may need to go to court for that.
