As the title says, this is a question regarding covid and custody. Here’s the scenario:

My ex last year after she left and took the kids was doing whatever and wanting to live her best life along with her family. They didn’t take covid precautions seriously and as a result all of them (and my kids) got covid right before Christmas so I was forced to go without being or seeing my kids for Christmas or New Years for the first time in their lives while they quarantined.

Recently, they went to hang out with some of her family for Christmas and apparently they were aware that a relative wasn’t feeling well. They went anyways because the relative said they took a rapid test and it came out negative but that they hadn’t taken a pcr test. Despite knowing the relative was sick with something, she took the kids over there anyways. She just told me today that the relative tested positive for covid today meaning he had a false negative before (or just flat out lied about taking the test to begin with) and my daughter is not feeling well. My ex and my daughter took a rapid test yesterday and they came back negative but the concern is if it’s a false positive like her relative’s. They took a pcr test as well but those results aren’t back yet.

My question is, if my kids get covid for the second year in a row and from her family both times can that be used against her in family court while we’re currently fighting over custody? Can the fact that she knowingly took the kids over there despite knowing the relative was sick anyways be used against her as a way to show poor judgement on her part and not keeping the kid’s safety in mind? Like, ok the rapid test was negative but why risk the kids getting sick with whatever the relative had anyways especially when hospitals are stretched thin as it is, right?

I plan on talking to my attorney about this but I’m trying to gather my thoughts first as I draft an email about it and see what I can find out ahead of time as well since as you’re all aware I’ll be charged for any and all communication so I’d like to make it worth it.

Thanks in advance and please keep my kids in your thoughts and prayers.
