Long-Distance Parenting During the Pandemic – How to Make It Work

The pandemic is making it more difficult for families in a co-parenting arrangement to make their arrangement work. If you are stuck at home, unable to see your kids or you are the one in custody of the kids, here are the things that you can do to make this arrangement work even with social distancing measures in place:
  1. Know the terms in the parenting agreement and stick to it
Make sure you don’t deviate from the parenting agreement, especially when it comes to your role as a parent to the kids. However, there might be instances when you also need to compromise. For instance, if the other parent missed the opportunity to be with the kids when it is his or her turn, you can agree to make up for it later once the pandemic is over.
  1. Communicate using alternative methods
You might not be able to see your kids physically but there are other ways to communicate such as through social media and online. You can schedule a video conference call with the kids. You can also send them care packages, gifts, food, and many other things that they might need.
  1. Consult a family lawyer in Burnaby
If you have questions about your arrangement or you want to make revisions to the parenting agreement, you can consult a family lawyer in Burnaby such as Kinman & Associates.
Once it becomes safe again, you can revert to your original arrangement. You can also make changes to the agreement to work with what is considered the “new normal”.
